Senior GOP Congressman Accuses Russian Propaganda of Infecting Party Base

Michael McCaul, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, voices concern over the influence of Kremlin propaganda on the Republican base, highlighting the urgency of U.S. aid to Ukraine.

Michael McCaul, a senior Republican and chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, blames Russian propaganda for influencing a significant portion of the GOP base.
McCaul emphasizes the critical need for a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine, which has been delayed in Congress due to infighting.
The aid package is vital for sustaining Ukraine's defense against Russia, with concerns growing as Russian forces gain ground.
McCaul advocates for the aid as a measure of national security interest, warning of broader geopolitical implications if Ukraine falls.
The delay in aid is attributed to pressure from Donald Trump and a new wave of GOP isolationism, complicating the passage of the aid package.
