Mitch McConnell Feels He Needs to ‘Explain to the American People’ Why Ukraine is the ‘Most Important’ Thing in the World

Gas tank low and you’re not sure if you have an extra $20 to put into it? Grocery bill got you bummed? Maybe you’re even thinking about skipping breakfast because your wallet is stretched too thin and you can’t even afford the generic Raisin Bran.

No matter. None of these things are important. Or, at least they’re not as important as funding Ukraine’s war effort. So says Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

In an interview with Fox News host Dana Perino, the Kentucky Republican responded to reports that Ukraine is “burning through ammunition faster than the US and NATO can produce them.”

“What is Biden’s responsibility in trying to make sure that people in America – whose support for Ukraine is softening – will want to continue to try to help them?” Perino asked.

McConnell responded: “Well, I’m going to try to help explain to the American people that defeating the Russians in Ukraine is the single most important event going on in the world right now.”
