'They should be in prison': Outrage as Joe Biden supports Mike Johnson's plan for Ukraine and Israel aid
WASHINGTON, DC: Speaker Mike Johnson's three distinct bills, which would provide US aid to Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific region, received backing from President Joe Biden on Wednesday, April 17. He urged the bills' passage this week, as per The Hill.
In a statement, Biden mentioned, "The House must pass the package this week and the Senate should quickly follow. I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world: We stand with our friends, and we won’t let Iran or Russia succeed."

He added, "I strongly support this package to get critical support to Israel and Ukraine, provide desperately needed humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, and bolster security and stability in the Indo-Pacific."
He further mentioned, "Israel is facing unprecedented attacks from Iran, and Ukraine is facing continued bombardment from Russia that has intensified dramatically in the last month."
Notably, Johnson, earlier on Wednesday, released the texts of three extra bills related to national security, and the text of a fourth bill is anticipated soon.
Moreover, Democrats are now free to vote in favor of the foreign aid bills with Republicans, thanks to the president's support for them. To accommodate Republican skeptics of international help without harming US national security goals, Johnson decided to advance separate legislation for aid overseas.

A person also stated, "I heard that there was SOME border security measure within this bill also…..can anyone confirm that? It seems that would be an important part of the huge bill to speak about for @SpeakerJohnson knowing how the majority of Americans feel about this issue" while one wrote, "So all that theatre for nothing? Figured. I knew Mikey was part of the uniparty state."
