The St. Louis Post-Dispatch warned that the House of Representatives wants “toddler-proofing” by Democrats earlier than Republicans take management in January.
The incoming GOP House majority is “a crowd that has literally announced its intention to threaten America’s fiscal stability, block election reforms and abandon Ukraine,” the paper famous.
Extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is amongst House Republicans who’ve promised to ax U.S. funding for Ukraine’s protection towards Russia’s invasion.
“Under Republicans, not another penny will go to Ukraine. Our country comes first. They don’t care about our border or our people,” Greene stated earlier this month.
Potential GOP House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has struck a extra average tone, however has promised no more “blank check” for Ukraine.
“Democrats who still control Congress now have not just a right but a duty to ensure that the worst instincts of the incoming majority are reined in before they’re seated,” the editorial concluded. “Let’s cover those plug sockets.”
