'Betrayed'
Manage episode 417587094 series 2440933
A few weeks ago, Speaker Johnson finally brought the $95 billion foreign aid package to the floor for a vote after months of holding the legislation up. It was highly controversial, and it angered many in his own party. More Republicans voted against aid to Ukraine than voted for it. In a radio interview with Mark Levin, Johnson justified his decision by saying it was the only way to get aid for Israel. He said supporting Israel was a priority, and Biden would not fund Israel without funding Ukraine. Now that the House has passed the foreign aid to Ukraine, Biden has announced he is withholding some weapons to Israel if they invade Gaza. Johnson says he feels betrayed. Where did he go wrong in his negotiations with Biden? How did Biden play him, and how is he setting Johnson up to get played again? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #210.
