<p>House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) slammed Democrats Saturday afternoon for flying Ukraine flags on the House floor following a vote to send military aid to the European country.</p>
<p>Johnson faced pushback from some Republicans in the House who wanted him to hold votes on foreign aid spending until more funding for border security measures was secured.</p>
<p>A separate vote was taken on each aid proposal with $60 billion allocated for Ukraine, about $17 billion for Israel, $9 billion for humanitarian aid, and $8 billion to support Taiwan. Another bill that could ban TikTok if the company is not divested from Chinese control was also passed.</p>
<p>In addition to waving Ukraine flags, many House Democrats also chanted &#8220;Ukraine!&#8221; on the Houses floor, which earned sharp pushback from many Republicans.</p>
<p>&#8220;These are not normal times here in the House or around the world as we all know, and we saw a disturbance here on the House floor just a bit ago,&#8221; Johnson said at a brief press conference following the passage of the spending package. &#8220;I just want to say simply what I think most people around the country understand and agree — we should only wave one flag on the House floor and I think we know which flag that is.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson noted that the world has been destabilized by America&#8217;s primary foreign enemies, Russia, China, and Iran.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re a global threat to our prosperity, and our security,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Their advance threatens the free world, and it demands American leadership. If we turn our backs right now, the consequences could be devastating.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson said the legislation &#8220;provides for greater accountability over Ukraine aid, it forces an end game strategy for the Ukraine war, it includes a loan instrument of this foreign aid to Ukraine and the REPO Act, to ensure that Russian assets pay for part of the bill.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We will continue to keep an eye on every dollar that we&#8217;re using and investing at this time,&#8221; he later added. &#8220;I&#8217;ve said it very simply, I&#8217;ll say it once again. It&#8217;s an old military adage. But we would rather send bullets to the conflict overseas than our own boys, our troops. And I think this is an important moment, an important opportunity to make that decision. We allowed the House to do that. And I expect the Senate will make the same decision.&#8221;</p>
