CHRIS HAYES: As of right now, there’s no deal in sight because House Republicans want to start their holiday recess on Friday. It is that time of year. Today, President Biden made it clear what he thinks of the Republicans' attitude.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Russian loyalists in Moscow celebrated when Republicans voted to block Ukraine aid last week. The host of a Kremlin-run show literally said, and I quote, “well done, Republicans. That's good for us.”
If you are being celebrated by Russian propagandists, it might be time to rethink what you are doing.
HAYES: Now, Vladimir Putin already enacted the most audacious criminal election sabotage in recent memory back in 2016, famously. When he looks at his prospects in the war in Ukraine and American politics, it is obvious that it is in his best interest to do whatever he can to help elect Republicans again. The guys who will assist his goals by cutting off aid to Ukraine, forcing it into some settlement under conditions of surrender. Just think about the message that’s being sent by Republicans right now about what Vladimir Putin should do in the 2024 elections.
