NOT A CHANCE IN ZEL! McCarthy Denied Zelenskyy's Request to Address Congress; Report

According to a New York Times report, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy denied a request from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to address the House of Representatives. Zelenskyy was reportedly in Washington D.C. in an attempt to secure more aid for his war against invading Russian forces.

From Newsmax:

Instead, McCarthy met with Zelenskyy privately along with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and other committee chairs and ranking members. Zelenskyy met with senators after that meeting.

McCarthy’s denial, citing time constraints of a busy week, comes amid House Republicans’ struggle to beat a Sept. 30 deadline to pass spending bills in order to prevent a government shutdown.

The U.S. has sent more than $100 billion to Ukraine in military, financial, and humanitarian aid since Russia invaded in February, 2022, but Republican lawmakers are pushing back on sending any more.

“There’s no money in the House right now for Ukraine. It’s not there,” Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., said Tuesday, adding, “It’s not a good time for [Zelenskyy] to be here, quite frankly.”
