This is the best summary I could come up with:
His comments come on the heels of remarks House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul made this week about how Russian propaganda has taken root among the GOP.
McCaul, a Texas Republican, told Puck News that he thinks “Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base.”
“[The propaganda] makes it more difficult for us to really see this as an authoritarian versus democracy battle, which is what it is,” Turner told CNN, adding, “President Xi of China, Vladimir Putin himself have identified as such.”
Last week, Rep. Don Bacon said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that he had commitments from Johnson and McCaul that they would allow a bipartisan Ukraine military aid package to advance to a vote.
Rep. French Hill echoed this point on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday morning, saying he believes Johnson will bring Ukraine aid to the floor “immediately after completing the work on [the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] and FISA’s extension — that deadline of April 19 makes it a priority for the first few days we’re back.”
Democrats have signaled that they could join several Republicans in helping to save Johnson’s speakership if a motion to vacate, such as the one filed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just before the House left for a two-week Easter recess, were brought to a vote.
