"SNIP..............

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said on C-SPAN that some of his Republican colleagues want Russia to “win” in their war with Ukraine.

Said Bacon: “If we don’t do this, the Russians will be in Kiev. Unfortunately, a few of my colleagues would like to see the Russians win. I don’t know why that is the case. I think it’s a terrible thing.”

.............SNIP"
