Fox News is beginning to turn on President Trump in one key fight.
Trump supporters are left scratching their heads wondering what is going on.
And one Fox News host will make Trump mad as hell with this treatment.
Fox’s Brian Kilmeade contradicts Donald Trump on Ukraine
President Trump is determined to hammer out a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the war-mongers in Congress lashed out trying to sabotage the negotiations to keep the spigot of taxpayer money to fund a hopeless war indefinitely.
Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade is normally a Trump supporter.
But on Ukraine, Kilmeade chose the Swamp’s side.
Kilmeade interviewed RINO Senate Majority Leader John Thune – a Mitch McConnell acolyte who won’t give one thought over pumping limitless amounts of taxpayer money into Ukraine – and questioned him about the growing support for Donald Trump’s America First foreign policy, which includes calls to cut off funding the Ukraine war.
“There’s a faction within the Republican Party that does not want to finance its war anymore. And you know it,” Kilmeade began.
Kilmeade then asked Thune how he could hoodwink President Trump and his supporters into dumping hundreds of billions of dollars more down the drain in Ukraine.
“I’m I, I believe that the Ukraine are the good guys in this. If they had their druthers, they would just be a Westernized nation prospering the best they can with an imperfect democracy. It’s Russia that is the problem. But what do you do with people in your own party that said, I’m done with this?” Kilmeade asked.
Thune then called out President Trump for saying Zelenskyy and Joe Biden owed their fair share of blame for helping to bungle into this war by saying Russian President Vladimir Putin was the “aggressor” since he was the one who fired the first shot by invading.
“Well, I mean, I think there’s a there’s that strong sentiment out there. And of course, I hear it. And I think that, frankly, I don’t have any questions about this. Putin and Russia are very clearly the aggressors in this conflict,” Thune stated.
Thune then pivoted to an argument McConnell would often make that the money the warmongers approved for Ukraine was actually lining the pockets of defense contractors here in America.
“There’s that– that’s just a fact. But I also think that at the end of the day, the U.S. support and assistance, much of which helps rebuild our own industrial base here, our military industrial base, because a lot of the weaponry that we sell to or support the Ukrainians with is, you know, is creating jobs in this country, too,” Thune added.
But even though Kilmeade prompted Thune to undermine Trump’s position on Ukraine, Thune had to bow to political reality.
A recent Gallup poll found 67 percent of Republicans think America has done too much for Ukraine.
74 percent of Republicans also want a quick end to the war.
Thune knows his demand for turning over a blank check to Ukraine puts him in the minority of his party, which is never where anyone in leadership wants to be.
And so Thune was forced to concede that the American people’s patience for funding this war long ago ran out and that he supported President Trump’s plan to end the war.
“But it also, I think, is probably limited in the end,” Thune acknowledged. “I mean, there’s a there’s a place in where American support and the support of the American people is limited. And so that’s why I think it’s important that they try and wind this down, figure out a way to achieve an outcome that, you know, retains Ukraine’s sovereignty and hopefully puts them and our European allies in the region in a better position relative to the aggressive posture the Russians take. And I think that’s what we all want to achieve.”
