'He needs to go': Internet agrees with Tomi Lahren as she calls Joe Biden 'dementia-ridden clown' over $300M aid to Ukraine

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Conservative firebrand Tomi Lahren has sparked controversy with her recent tweet, criticizing President Joe Biden for allocating $300 million in aid to Ukraine.

The tweet, accompanied by a video clip of Biden's announcement, ignited a fierce debate over foreign policy priorities and domestic concerns.

Joe Biden's emergency aid package for Ukraine sparks controversy

In the shared clip, President Biden outlines an emergency aid package for Ukraine, funded by savings from Pentagon contracts.

He emphasizes the importance of supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression, stating, "Today, the United States is announcing an emergency package for Ukraine using cost savings from previously approved Pentagon contracts. The package includes munitions and rounds to help Ukraine hold the line against Russia's brutal attacks for the next couple of weeks, which I have the authority to do without asking Congress for more money right now. But I've asked them for a lot more money. And so we're, but it's not nearly enough what we're announcing today."

However, Lahren's response to the announcement was scathing. She took to Twitter to express her frustration, writing, "This makes my blood boil. This dementia-ridden clown tells us he can’t/won’t take executive action to secure OUR border, but he has no problem flexing his presidential power to send hundreds of millions of OUR dollars to another country?!!!"

Lahren's criticism reflects broader concerns among some conservatives about the Biden administration's handling of both foreign and domestic policy. 

Tensions escalated debate over Joe Biden's aid to Ukraine

The controversy over Biden's decision to allocate aid to Ukraine comes amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with the situation on the ground remaining precarious.

US officials have underscored the importance of supporting Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, framing it as a crucial national security imperative.

According to Reuters, Pentagon Press Secretary Major General Pat Ryder elaborated on the aid package, stating that it includes anti-aircraft missiles and artillery rounds.

However, he cautioned that providing weapons to Ukraine through Pentagon contract savings was likely a one-time situation and not a sustainable funding method.

The issue of aid to Ukraine has also prompted discussions about alternative funding sources, including the possibility of seizing Russian assets immobilized in 2022.

Additionally, European Union countries are reportedly considering a new top-up to a fund used to finance military shipments to Ukraine, further underscoring the international response to the crisis.

Meanwhile, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has warned of the looming threat of a new Russian offensive, underscoring the urgent need for continued support.

Despite the challenges, Zelenskiy has expressed optimism about Ukraine's strategic position but emphasized the importance of ongoing military assistance.
