Adam Kinzinger sure loves to support the war in Ukraine. It’s … weird. It’s probably why this very simple tweet from Senator Mike Lee (on his personal account no less) upset the little feller. Lee brings up a great point, Putin is bad (like, really bad), but this is not our war.
Putin’s bad, but this isn’t our war. https://t.co/2OxFS6R9Wi

From Daily Caller:
Republican lawmakers in the House and the Senate sent a letter Thursday to President Joe Biden, calling on him and his administration to stop sending “unrestrained” U.S. aid to Ukraine.
The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the letter, which was spearheaded by Utah Sen. Mike Lee and Arizona Rep. Eli Crane, before it was sent to Biden. In it, the lawmakers mention risks associated with continuing to supply Ukraine with weapons and military aid, noting that such actions could make the situation worse and lead to a proxy war with Russia.
“Unrestrained U.S. aid for Ukraine must come to an end, and we will adamantly oppose all future aid packages unless they are linked to a clear diplomatic strategy designed to bring this war to a rapid conclusion,” the lawmakers wrote in the letter.
Unrestrained spending.
Yup.
Cue the meltdown from Kinzinger:
Weak weak man you are

Notice, CNN’s favorite Senior Political Analyst doesn’t really have an argument, just a nasty insult.
Lee fired back, big time:
Excuse me? Strength isn’t manifested by printing $113 trillion to fight a proxy war against a nuclear-armed adversary.

Warmongering isn’t a sign of strength. https://t.co/PA9mbQE8pF

But wait, there’s more.
Are those 110,000 Americans less worth fighting and spending to protect than Ukrainians? Did we devote anything close to the same efforts to reinforcing our own border rather than Ukraine’s?
— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) April 24, 2023
At what point do we conclude that we have spent enough on Ukraine? If it’s not $113 billion, then how much is enough? Where does it end?
— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) April 24, 2023
Where does it end?
A fair question.
Which totally freaked out the pro-war side of the party:
You support this war. I don’t. https://t.co/dHZeqnxFQK

Not to mention Lee triggered Mr. War Happy/Warmonger himself, David Frum.
Frum never met a war he couldn’t get behind.
If a United States senator refuses to support a US administration and NATO allies defending a European Union candidate state against invasion and atrocity, he's not "antiwar." He's doing everything in his very considerable power to assist one side of that the war, the wrong side. https://t.co/HlAhoxX3F4

Sounds an awful lot like, ‘If you’re not with us, you’re against us.’
*eye roll*
This didn’t go well for Frum.

There is no NATO policy or agreement that requires defense of "candidates"
— Jswarens (@jeff_swarens) April 24, 2023
So you and Zelensky think Ukraine is a candidate state, LMFAO. 10 years ago you would have never said this and with corruption rampant, when did they qualify?

sorry bob-no american interests are at risk-unless you are an executive or a major investor in american MIC contractors. And take that ridiculous ukraine flag out of your bio, rube

“Either you agree with me and support what I want you to support or you’re an evil authoritarian sympathizer.”

Yup.
It’s a really horrible way to communicate. We agree.
