McConnell Blames Tucker Carlson and Trump for Delayed Ukraine Aid Package
“The demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who in my opinion ended up where he should have been all along, which is interviewing Vladimir Putin,” McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters. “And so he had an enormous audience, which convinced a lot of rank and file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake.”
“I think the former president had sort of mixed views on” Ukraine aid, he added, before alluding to the failed attempt to add border security provisions to the bill, “which requires you to deal with Democrats, and then a number of our members thought it wasn’t good enough.”
“And then our nominee for president didn’t seem to want us to do anything at all,” McConnell said. “That took months to work our way through it.”
Look at him sowing his oats.

ESPN Propping Up McAfee Says LeBatard
Dan LeBatard “There were a lot of people questioning whether the McAfee thing will work or not. And they’re paying him so much money, Stugotz, that they’re putting all of ESPN and Disney’s resources behind making sure that that show succeeds,” Le Batard said. “That show is going to succeed for a number of different reasons. But the investment will make it so that it cannot fail. It’s not something that will fail unless Pat McAfee doesn’t want to work there. Because he’s not even under the employee restrictions that other employees would be under because he’s renting his stuff to them and they’re making the maximum investment.”
He’s too big to fail.

Aren’t you excited to make out with all of them?’” she recalled. “And I thought, ‘Is there something wrong with me?’ because I wasn’t excited. I thought it sounded gross.”
