Thursday evening, Rep. Lauren Boebert tweeted “When President Trump wanted to spend $25 billion to build a wall to protect America, Democrats said no.”
“Now that Ukraine needs to protect it’s borders, Congress sends them $40 billion,” she continued. “America First!”

Per ABC News “the Senate voted on Thursday to pass an additional $40 billion in new aid for Ukraine, after President Joe Biden called on Congress last month to deliver the additional funding, to help counter Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion over the long term.”
Last week, Boebert wrote:
Leftists were outraged about Elon Musk spending $44 billion to buy Twitter and not using that money for their socialist demands.
But they have no problem spending $40 billion of your tax dollars on more aid for Ukraine with little direction on where that money will actually go.
