Lawmakers Unite To Defund Russia But Biden Stops Them Cold

The ostensibly “pro-Ukraine” Biden administration is doing everything they can to fund Russia’s war machine by refusing to sanction their oil and natural gas imports.

But why?

A bipartisan group of lawmakers from both both chambers of Congress are ready to take the boldest anti-Putin stance yet, but Biden and Biden alone is preventing that from happening.

The Biden administration has come up with a brilliant alternative solution: Keep importing Russian oil but allocate billions in taxpayer dollars to send directly to Ukraine, thus funding both sides of the conflict.

Are you finally paying attention yet?

Sens. Joe Manchin and Lisa Murkowski introduced the Ban Russian Energy Imports Act, which would prohibit importing crude oil, petroleum, and other energy products from Russia for the duration of the conflict. Reps. Josh Gottheimer and Brian Fitzpatrick of the Problem Solvers Caucus will introduce companion legislation in the House. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she would support a ban on Russian oil imports earlier Thursday.

At a press conference, Manchin, chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said, “We’re coming together out of support for Ukraine.”

Manchin has come out strong in support of banning Russian oil imports and resuming U.S. oil production to offset the cost Americans face at the pump.

However, Manchin’s solution would fly opposite to the Biden administration’s façade of caring about “green energy” and the “environment” insofar it would harm the billion-dollar investments already made toward oil-less fuel sources.

After all, the White House wants to see a return on their investment. No foreign war is going to stop that.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, another supporter of the bill, joked that Putin has done something no U.S. force has accomplished before: brought the Democrats and Republicans together.

But White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Thursday that  Joe Biden’s objective “has been to maximize impact on President Putin and Russia while minimizing impact to us and our allies and partners.”

How can one administration be so incredibly wrong about so many issues?

This issue, however, means Americans will be paying a war tax for a battle we’re not even fighting.

The lunacy continues…
