I like this new name for the GOP

House Minority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) went after Republicans Saturday, branding the GOP with a new nickname: “Groupies of Putin.”
Clyburn, who announced he would step down from leadership in 2024, argued Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and his other GOP colleagues have only been doing the business of Russian President Vladimir Putin “at the behest of the former president.
“I think the American people are beginning to see that Johnson is a part of what I call ‘Groupies of Putin,’” Clyburn said Saturday on MSNBC’s “The Weekend.” “That’s what GOP stands for now, ‘Groupies of Putin.”
“The American people will see through that,” he added. “And we Democrats are going to do what we can to make sure that it’s front and center.”
His comments come as Johnson has refused to bring a Senate-passed foreign aid bill to the House floor that would provide an additional $60 billion to Ukraine, as it hits two years since Russia launched its full-blown invasion. House Republicans have argued that any foreign aid spending bill must be paired with funds to secure the U.S.-Mexico border — an argument former President Trump has openly supported.
