Cornyn (R-TX) 02/26/2022: Retweet of @Norman_Roule – “Whatever one's views of the nuclear benefits of a restored JCPOA, sanctions relief will resource Iran's missile programs, Qods Force operations, & regional proxies no less than Moscow's ability to sell oil funds its war machine. Single issue policymaking has consequences.”

Cruz (R-TX) 02/26/2022: Retweet of @NileGardiner – “The Biden presidency is a monumental disaster on every foreign policy front. A culture of weakness and appeasement of dictatorships, from Moscow to Tehran. Link to quoted tweet”

Toomey (R-PA) 02/26/2022: Tweet – “We can cut some Russian banks off from SWIFT. But to bring Russia's economy to its knees, we must isolate *all* Russian banks from the global economy. That requires Iran-style secondary sanctions, which forces foreign banks to choose between doing business with the US or Russia. Link to video”

Waltz (R-FL-6) 02/27/2022: Tweet – “The Iranian & US negotiating teams for a new Iran Deal aren't actually talking to one another. Guess who the mediator is - Russia!👇 Link to quoted tweetQuick reminder.

Wicker (R-MS) 02/26/2022: Tweet – “As Russia, China, and Iran amass more power, @POTUS and his Administration are preoccupied with promoting their leftist socialist agenda in the military instead of recruiting, training, and equipping the force we need to defend the United States.”

Saudi Arabia

Gimenez (R-FL-26) 02/26/2022: Twitter thread – “You'd rather have Saudi Arabia produce more oil than develop AMERICAN energy? You should call on @POTUS to produce more HERE. Link to quoted tweetSaudi Arabia - now is your chance to be an ally or an enemy of those standing against Russia's attack on #Ukraine. Saudi Arabia must open taps and produce more oil so the world can turn its back on Russian oil. Otherwise, the blood of Ukrainians is also on Saudi Arabia's hands. When will you admit that your policies are bad for America and dangerous for the world?”

Waltz (R-FL-6) 02/26/2022: Tweet – “Wrong @BradSherman. Unleashing AMERICAN 🇺🇸 energy (cleaner & creates jobs) is the answer, not begging OPEC to pump more! Link to quoted tweetSaudi Arabia - now is your chance to be an ally or an enemy of those standing against Russia's attack on #Ukraine.

Jacobs (D-CA-53) 02/26/2022: Tweet – “How incredibly harmful and racist. The horror of war is the same everywhere. Refugees fleeing war — from Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and elsewhere — should all be welcomed. Link to video”

Link to quoted tweetAs Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep Paul Gosar speak at this white supremacist, anti-Semitic, pro-Putin event, silence by Republican Party leaders is deafening and enabling.

Clark (D-MA-5) 02/26/2022: Tweet – “Un-American. Link to quoted tweetThe second House GOPer to speak at a white nationalist conference hosted by a Holocaust denier, but House GOP Leaders McCarthy, Scalise, and Stefanik are focused instead on punishing Cheney and Kinzinger for wanting to get to the bottom of January 6. (Link to twitter.com)”

Gallego (D-AZ-7) 02/27/2022: Retweet of @jaketapper – “There is a part of the base of the GOP that is just proudly and unabashedly anti-Semitic. Arizona State Senator Rogers is not “fringe” — she was endorsed by Trump and supported by Gov Ducey. Link to quoted tweet”

Krishnamoorthi (D-IL-8) 02/26/2022: Tweet – “Putin is baselessly and disgracefully invoking the Holocaust to justify an illegal, baseless war and its bloody human cost. Putin claims 'denazification' to justify Russia's attack on Ukraine, experts say | nbcnews.com”

Issa (R-CA-50) 02/26/2022: Twitter thread – “When Ukraine gave away its nuclear weapons, the U.S. and Britain promised to defend them.

(1/7) The ISIS-K terrorist responsible for committing the heinous attack outside Abbey Gate was a prisoner at the Bagram prison but released when the Taliban took over our Bagram Airbase that the Biden Administration prematurely closed. (2/7) Since then, @SpeakerPelosi and Democrat leadership have refused to hold any hearings regarding the Administration's botched withdrawal plan, abandonment of American citizens and our Afghan partners, along with our military equipment. (3/7) Like so many Americans, I have questions about @POTUS' thought process behind the withdrawal. Democrats, for whatever reason, want them to remain unanswered. Our withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster & there has been zero accountability. (4/7) Putin, like the rest of the world, took notice. As a result, we are now dealing with another preventable foreign policy debacle in Ukraine. @POTUS' weak, reactive foreign policy has only emboldened Russia & our other adversaries to act. (5/7) This is a historic and possibly world-changing moment. The U.S. and our allies must continue to impose crippling sanctions on Russia's top banks and energy sector, supply weapons and equipment to Ukraine, and unleash the full force...(6/7) of our domestic energy production to restore our energy independence, protect our national security, and ease rising costs on American families.

Mast (R-FL-18) 02/26/2022: Tweet – “.@ZelenskyyUa you are a true leader.

Salazar (R-FL-27) 02/26/2022: Retweet of @BrendanCarrFCC – “Great to see! America has a strategic interest in allied enterprises beaming Internet abroad—from Cuba to Afghanistan & now Ukraine.

Steube (R-FL-17) 02/27/2022: Tweet – “The Taliban didn't attack U.S. service-members for the entire four years President Trump was in office.

He won the world's admiration. I hope if in same situation I'd do exactly the same. Three decades in the service & four Middle East tours, but I'm first to say I respect how he is leading.”
