Katie Britt: Congress Should ‘Finish Building the Wall’ Before Sending Ukraine $40 Billion
Katie Britt, former Business Council of Alabama CEO and president, condemned Congress’ $40 billion Ukrainian aid package and told Breitbart News that Congress should “finish building the wall” or “handle the baby formula shortage” before helping Ukraine.
Host Matthew Boyle opened the interview talking about Britt’s recent surge in the polls, which she attributed to her “energy” and “passion” for the America first agenda.
Britt, former chief of staff of retiring Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby (R), said:
It is clear on the campaign trail that people want new blood. They want new blood, they want fresh blood, they want someone who will shake things up in Washington, they want somebody who will really advance the America first agenda. They are sick of people talking about it, and saying the right things but not actually getting anything done. And they want someone with the passion, the energy, the fire, and the intelligence to go really move our country forward.
“And so it’s that energy, that passion, that is getting people excited, and it has pushed us forward in this race,” she added.
The two discussed Congress’s recent $40 billion relief package sent to Ukraine and highlighted better ways to spend taxpayer dollars. Britt said Congress should have acted on the ongoing baby formula shortage or finished building the wall before sending money to Ukraine.
“And let me tell you, I am all about helping and supporting the Ukrainian people against Russia, but we have to be smart about this,” Britt said. “We have too many Yes men and women and politicians in D.C. that just do what they’re told instead of asking tough questions.”
