"No, I vote for aid for Ukraine. I support aid for Ukraine," McCarthy responded after clarifying the question. "I do not support what your country has done to Ukraine."

A fairly unequivocal response from a master of equivocation. We'll see what Speaker McCarthy says when he's back in the United States and has to appease the walking dead of his party, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, however.

A reporter representing a Russian news agency asked McCarthy about U.S. support for Ukraine and referenced McCarthy's past comments about not being in favor of giving Ukraine a "blank check."

"We know that you don't support the current unlimited and uncontrolled supply of weaponry and aid to Ukraine, so can you comment? Is it possible in the near future the U.S. policy of sending weaponry to Ukraine will change?" the reporter asked.

"No, I vote for aid for Ukraine. I support aid for Ukraine," McCarthy responded after clarifying the question. "I do not support what your country has done to Ukraine. I do not support your killing of the children either."

"I think from one standpoint you should pull out, and I don't think it's right. We will continue to support, because the rest of the world sees this just as it is," he added.
