Sasse accuses Biden admin of treating Ukraine war as ‘PR crisis,’ says US response ‘too slow'

Sen. Ben Sasse ripped the Biden administration for taking the wrong approach to the war in Ukraine, saying the president he needs to act faster and take the situation more seriously.

"The biggest problem here is that the administration has a bunch of lawyers who are treating this as if it’s a CYA PR crisis instead of the national security crisis it is," Sasse said. "And so my message to the president is simple: Stop listening to all of your advisers who say Zelenskyy’s a dead man walking. Stop listening to those who say that Ukraine is inevitably going to lose. We should hear the president’s strategy to help Ukraine win. We should be on the side of these freedom fighters and we’re too slow in almost every step we take."
