As Chair of the Caucus, I accept responsibility for this,\u201d Jayapal wrote. \u201cBecause of the timing, our message is being conflated by some as being equivalent to the recent statement by Republican Leader McCarthy threatening an end to aid to Ukraine if Republicans take over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Hill reported earlier on Tuesday that the letter was written over the summer and released this week without consideration of the timing, two weeks ahead of midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>Jayapal said that her caucus\u2019s stance towards the Biden administration\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach to the war unintentionally created the perception that they were aligned with \u201cRepublicans who seek to pull the plug on American support for [Ukrainian] President [Volodymyr] Zelensky and the Ukrainian forces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing could be further from the truth,\u201d she added. \u201cEvery war ends with diplomacy, and this one will too after Ukrainian victory. The letter sent yesterday, although restating that basic principle, has been conflated with GOP opposition to support for the Ukrainians\u2019 just defense of their national sovereignty. As such, it is a distraction at this time and we withdraw the letter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was widely criticized over an interview published last week in which he said a GOP majority would not give a \u201cblank check\u201d to Ukraine, indicating it would instead focus on relieving economic pain at home.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, many of the House\u2019s top liberals signed on to an official memo written by Jayapal asking Biden to push harder for negotiations with Russia over the war it started eight months ago.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe urge you to pair the military and economic support the United States has provided to Ukraine with a proactive diplomatic push, redoubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for a ceasefire,\u201d wrote Jayapal.<\/p>\n<p>In an unusual backtrack, Jayapal and the Congressional Progressive Caucus sought to clarify their request by issuing a new statement later on Monday reaffirming their support for Ukraine and support for Biden\u2019s handling of the war.<\/p>\n<p>House sources told The Hill on Tuesday that the letter was circulated in June, and the reason for its release so close to elections was unclear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThey waited to get about 30 and released,\u201d one source texted. \u201cDidn\u2019t consider election timing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) released a lengthy statement on Tuesday reiterating the need for continued support for Ukraine, after she attended the First Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimea Platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongress on a bipartisan and bicameral basis will not waver in our efforts to support Ukraine and hold Russia accountable,\u201d she said. \u201cOn behalf of the Congress, I made absolutely clear that America\u2019s support for Ukraine will continue until victory is won.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>Updated at 1:15 p.m. <\/em>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
