Disgraceful Senate GOP Blocks Biden Ukraine Relief Nominees After Zelensky Pleads For Help

[ffr]

Hours after listening to President Zelensky address them, Senate Republicans blocked Biden’s nominees to lead the Ukraine support effort.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) tried to get unanimous consent on Biden’s nominees but was blocked.

Republican Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) blocked Chairman Menendez’s efforts for the Senate to confirm Jim O’Brien to be Coordinator for Sanctions; Julieta Valls Noyes to be Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration; and Eliot Kang to be Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Non-Proliferation. These positions have been slow walked by Republicans despite the growing crisis in Europe. Senator Scott’s objection came hours after Ukraine’s President Volodomyr Zelenskyy pleaded for additional support from the United States. - PoliticusUSA

Russian, I mean republican Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) was on the July 4th republican-only trip to appease Putin and Russia. Eight republicans took part of that U.S. Independence Day event in RUSSIA.
