House and Senate Republicans may be divided on whether or not the United States ought to put the brakes on military aid to Ukraine, allowing Russian kleptocrat Vladimir Putin to pillage the country as he may, but the activists of the Republican base aren't conflicted. That's the takeaway from Charlie Kirk's Turning Point Action conference last weekend—or at least, that's the takeaway Kirk wants to push.
There's reason for skepticism given that Kirk's outfit is among the most unabashedly pro-fascist groups in Republicanism, is virulently pro-Donald Trump, and are such brazen liars that they might just be making the whole thing up. According to Kirk, in a straw poll of conference attendees, a near-unanimous 95.8% of them voted against supporting "U.S. involvement in the war in Ukraine."
