GOP Rep. Massie: No More Money for Ukraine ‘Until We Get an Audit and an Inspector General’
Jeff Poor 17 Nov 2022
Wednesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) called for more scrutiny into the taxpayer dollars being used to fund the defense effort in Ukraine.
The Kentucky Republican argued for an audit and inspector general investigation before Congress appropriated more money for Ukraine.
“We should absolutely refuse to send another single penny there until we get an audit and an Inspector General,” he said. “Senator Rand Paul tried to make the stand in the Senate, only got 11 of his colleagues there to agree that we need an Inspector General. Look, in Afghanistan, we were spending about $50 billion a year. We’re on course to spend about twice of that in Ukraine, and we had an Inspector General in Afghanistan. We absolutely need one here.
“We found all sorts of waste fraud and abuse from Inspector General John Sopko, so we need one here in the Ukraine immediately, and we shouldn’t be spending any more money,” Massie said. “And there’s one other thing we should demand. You know, the guy that you quoted there said, we’ll do it for as long as it takes. The thing we never had in Afghanistan, and we don’t have in Ukraine, is what is your definition of victory? Are you going to retake Crimea? What’s your definition of victory? The American voters deserve to know.”

MTG's resolution failed with all Democrats voting against providing transparency into how nearly $100 billion of our money was spent in Ukraine.

Wonder how many of those Dems screamed about auditing money spent in Afghanistan and Iraq?

@RepMTG
Chairman Meeks doesn’t think you deserve to know how YOUR money is being spent in Ukraine.
He says NO to auditing Ukraine for the American people.
He says only Foreign Affairs committee members are allowed to know & you need to trust Zelensky with YOUR money.
UNBELIEVABLE!

There is far to much military weapons and money to still be harvested and sold on the world market to needy terrorists by the Ukraine laundering world weapon deals. Like the heartbreak of psoriasis, so is the days of our lives!
Isn't this just so much better than having Trump in office? Cmon, you know you wanna admit it!
:silly: :silly: :silly:
The scumbags that brought us to this have no more intentions to admitting their duplicity, than the democrat politicians.

In addition to seeing where the money is going in Ukraine, Congress needs to see what NGO's are getting money for Ukraine and how if they donating money to political campaigns in the USA.
