As we previously reported, Joe Biden is playing a despicable game -- trying to hold up funding to secure the border unless Republicans cave to his desire for additional funding for Ukraine. He attacked Republicans during White House remarks on Wednesday, saying they were holding Ukraine's funding hostage over their "extreme border policies."
Biden repeated that in a post on X, terming it "political blackmail."
Republicans in Congress are threatening to cut off support for Ukraine unless they can force through their extreme partisan border policies.

It’s political blackmail, pure and simple.
The stakes are too high and the consequences are too significant for political brinksmanship.

How utterly shameless is that? He's the one trying to hold up funding for the border as "political blackmail" to get the funding he wants for Ukraine. That's his first priority, and he dares to criticize the Republicans, who are making a priority of the border? The first obligation here--for both Congress and Biden--should be the American border, not funding for a foreign country. Securing our border is "extreme" to Joe Biden.
Meanwhile, the border is a mess, with record numbers of illegal aliens coming in, and massive numbers of single, military-aged men from countries that don't wish us well, like China, as well as from Africa and the Middle East.
Biden doesn't even seem to care about the damage he has done, and is doing, to the country with his horrible policies. He doesn't seem to care about the optics of his position as he runs for election, when this is an incredibly important topic for the American people.
Biden got a massive ratio in response to his post, including from several members of Congress and actress Roseanne Barr.
You’re ignoring the national-security crisis you’ve willfully created by refusing to enforce our southern border.

Then you’re telling us you won’t lift a finger to do anything about it — to secure OUR country — unless we send $61.5 billion to Ukraine.
Who’s blackmailing whom? https://t.co/inhbvV6nbK
Here’s Biden saying the quiet part out loud.

Republicans in the House are 100% demanding that our borders be secured.
Meanwhile, Biden and the Dems want to keep the borders open, human/ child sex trafficking at all time high, and Americans at risk in their homes. All so they… https://t.co/lEtWzUcCjp
Our Border > Ukraine’s Border https://t.co/UkThMXdWT7

Could you clarify what “blackmail” you are referring to? Blackmail means the threatened exposure of a terrible secret. What terrible secret are you hiding?

Roseanne had perhaps the best response.
if anyone knows anything about political blackmail, it’d be you!
