This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger on Thursday blasted congressional Republicans over their attempt to link wartime Ukraine aid with border security, arguing that the GOP isn’t a “serious” political party.
Kinzinger, a one-time Republican member of the House January 6 committee, criticized the earlier legislative push to tie the two critical issues together while speaking with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
Kinzinger, who served in the House from 2011 to 2023, called out the GOP after conservatives in the lower chamber turned their backs on the bipartisan border security deal that was crafted in the Senate.
"Now, President Biden has come forward and said ‘Ok, I’m basically going to give you everything you’ve asked for.’
Donald Trump has been vocal in his distaste for the bipartisan border security plan, remarking that he would gladly take credit should it fall apart.
However, the Democratic-controlled Senate in the coming days is set to unveil a national security package that includes a border deal, along with funding for Ukraine and Israel.
