Speaker Kevin McCarthy dissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday, not only refusing to OK a joint address to Congress, but even forcing the visitor to meet with House Republicans off Capitol Hill.
Bush league, Kevin.
We generally think McCarthy is doing a fine job in wrangling a feisty GOP caucus into an effective check on the Democratic Senate and White House despite his razor-thin majority.
And we get that many of his members have turned all-out against US aid to Ukraine; keeping Zelensky at arm’s length spares him considerable flak.
Plus, plenty of grassroots Republicans worry about how much cash is going overseas.
