Sen. Roger Marshall emphasized the need to stand up to Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the situation in Ukraine, criticizing the European Union’s lack of assertiveness.
He highlighted the importance of House funding for aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, linking it to border security.
“Let’s talk about this because any aid that is going to be sent to Ukraine or to Israel or Taiwan, any border funding, all has to go through the House, who does not seem willing to take the steps that the Senate wants them to,” FBN host Cheryl Casone said. “Where are we now?”
Marshall called for European countries to show strength against Putin, comparing the situation to standing up to a bully in school and urging the EU to take a more proactive stance.
“Look, that’s up to the House, what Speaker Johnson wants to do,” Marshall said. “I don’t think they had the votes over there to fund Ukraine or Israel unless we secure our border first. But if I could, this is yet again another example, this interview with President Biden is exactly why Putin does not respect Joe Biden. Putin does not respect the European Union nations. We have over 100,000 troops in Europe right now.”
“Our actions show that we are standing up to Putin, but we need the European countries to put on their big boy pants,” he added. “They need to stand up and push back on Putin too. Look, if you’re being bullied on the recess at grade school, you don’t ask your mom to come and fight the bully for you. It’s time for the European Union to stand up and push back as well.”
