NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland — Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) “job has been a failure,” referencing his push to provide additional security funding to Ukraine rather than focusing on domestic issues.

“If you’re Mitch McConnell and you’re a senator from Kentucky and you care more about the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine and not the fact that your own citizens are getting murdered by fentanyl brought in by cartels and that’s lower life expectancy, you need to look in the mirror and accept that your job has been a failure,” Vance said at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday as the audience erupted in applause.
