Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned former Fox News’ host Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump after senators approved a $95 million foreign aid package that would send funds to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
Under the law, the United States will send $60 billion in support to Ukraine, $17 billion for Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian aid for Gaza and $8 billion to Taiwan.
“I think the demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who, in my opinion, ended up – or he should have been all along – which is interviewing Vladimir Putin,” McConnell told reporters during a news conference.
“And so, he had an enormous audience, which convinced a lot of rank-and-file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake,” he added. “I think the former president had sort of mixed reviews on it. We all felt the border was a complete disaster, myself included.”
The Senate minority leader went on to talk about the negotiation phases.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell‘s sister-in-law, Angela Chao, drowned at a Texas ranch after her Tesla accidentally backed into a pond.
In February, Chao, 50 years old at the time of death, was driving her Tesla home after spending the evening with friends when she accidentally reversed into a pond. As the car sunk into the water, Chao called a friend. First responders arrived at the scene 24 minutes after an initial call was made.
First responders spent hours attempting to remove Chao from the vehicle. Once the car was removed, Chao was found unresponsive. First responders attempted to resuscitate Chao for 43 minutes.
An investigation into the vehicle determined that the Tesla’s reinforced glass windows made it impossible for Chao to break them underwater, trapping her inside. The American Automobile Association confirmed these details in a vehicle test.
Chao’s death is being investigated as a possible crime for the moment.

In February, Sen. Mitch McConnell‘s sister-in-law, Angela Chao, was found dead in her vehicle submerged in a pond in Texas.
The billionaire CEO of the Foremost Group, Angela was 50 years old at the time of her death. Authorities believed her death to be an accident at first but are now treating it as a criminal case.
Blanco County Sheriff’s Office wrote to Attorney General Ken Paxton, “Although the preliminary investigation indicated this was an unfortunate accident, the Sheriff’s Office is still investigating this accident as a criminal matter until they have sufficient evidence to rule out criminal activity.”
It took an hour for first responders to pull Chao’s body from the vehicle. Ems were unable to resuscitate Chao. The pond where the vehicle was submerged was located on a ranch in Johnson City, Texas. Chao’s husband, Jim Breyer, has ties to the corporation that owns the ranch.
