Dear Editor:
Congressman Tiffany voted to give Russian President Putin a victory in Ukraine by voting against providing aid to Ukraine. Fortunately the aid package passed with an overwhelming vote of 311 - 112. While he fell into step with 111 other Republican members of Congress, I think he is out of step with the majority of his constituents in the 7th District. I do not believe any American wants to abandon our allies in a way that appeases and empowers a ruthless, brutal dictator like Putin. Denying aid to Ukraine would virtually give Putin permission to continue to ravage, rape and murder Ukrainians and to launch incursions into the Baltic nations that have recently freed themselves from Russia’s grip. This vote aligns Tiffany with Trump’s declaration he would, “let Russia do whatever the hell they want to.” We have seen Tiffany kowtow to Trump before and we know Trump admires Putin, but supporting Trump and Putin at the expense of an ally and the endangerment of Eastern Europe is not OK, it is dangerous and shameful at best.
