Biden Ripped: American President Wears ‘My Ukraine Tie And My Ukraine Pin’ While Begging For More Money For Ukraine
President Joe Biden was on the receiving end of significant criticism after bragging about wearing his pro-Ukraine attire while discussing the $118 billion Senate bill that primarily benefits Ukraine.
Biden made the remarks during a speech urging Congress to pass the bill on Tuesday. The President presented the bill as a border security effort when in reality, it is a massive funding boondoggle for foreign nations.
Midway through his speech, Biden touted the legislation for providing “urgent funding for Ukraine.”
The bill includes $60.06 billion in additional aid to Ukraine with a significant portion coming in the form of weapons and military equipment.
“I’m wearing my Ukraine tie and my Ukraine pin, which I’ve been wearing because they’re in dire straits right now defending themselves against the Russian onslaught,” Biden said.

Biden Mocked For Ukraine Tie, Pin
Not sure about our readers, but I’m old enough to remember when the passage of funding for Ukraine was essential because they were on the cusp of victory due to their counteroffensive against Russia.
In fact, any indication that Russia may be coming out on top in the war effort was described as “Putin talking points” in the media.
Biden himself said roughly six months ago that “there is no possibility of (Russian President Vladimir Putin) winning the war in Ukraine. He’s already lost that war.”
Now, they’re in “dire straits,” and it’s not like the United States has turned off the spigot of taxpayer money. So where is it all going?
Maybe this is the problem:
Right-leaning personalities on social media ripped President Biden for his obvious pandering to Ukraine.
“Who is Biden really working for?” wondered Ian Miles Cheong. “What about the onslaught of illegals at the border?”
Funny you should ask. This bill provides an overwhelming amount of money to foreign countries – $78+ billion – rather than the U.S. border – $20 billion.
Of that $20 billion, how much do you think will be used to actually secure the border as opposed to facilitating further illegal immigration or providing a path to amnesty?
“In case you needed more evidence that Joe Biden and our lawmakers care more about Ukraine than the United States,” Trump advocate Laura Loomer wrote of the tie/pin ensemble.
Conservative radio host Rich Zeoli quipped, “Biden wearing his Ukraine tie which he received for being employee of the month in 2015.”
Wore His Little Pro-Ukraine Outfit In Kyiv
This isn’t the first time President Biden has worn his Ukraine tie. He wore that nation’s colors during a surprise visit to Kyiv almost one year ago today.
The Washington Post described the scene.
Video later showed the president, wearing a dark suit and, in an apparent nod to the Ukrainian flag, a blue-and yellow striped tie, seated with (Ukraine President Volodymyr) Zelensky, who wore his usual military-style attire.
Interestingly, that same report shows Biden declaring Ukraine was on their way to victory in the war against Russia.
“When Putin launched his invasion nearly one year ago, he thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided. He thought he could outlast us,” Biden said in a statement after arriving to meet. “But he was dead wrong.”
Now it’s, “They need another $60 billion or Putin will outlast us.”
Fox Business host Charles Payne ripped Biden’s visit to Ukraine, yellow and blue tie and all, as “phony” due to air raid sirens going off while the two world leaders showed very little concern.
“The only thing I did not like about President Biden’s visit was the air raid sirens.,” Payne said. “That was the most phony baloney stuff.”
As phony as an aid package meant for Ukraine and Israel being presented as a ‘border security’ bill.
