Michael Whatley, Donald Trump’s hand-picked Republican National Committee (RNC) chair, lumped in Ukraine with China and Iran when listing the United States’ “aggressive” adversaries on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.
“Joe Biden’s feckless leadership has shown China, has shown Ukraine, has shown Iran, that they can feel free to be much more aggressive on the world front to the point where even they will try and meddle with our elections here,” Whatley told host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Michael Whatley, Donald Trump’s hand-picked Republican National Committee (RNC) chair, lumped in Ukraine with China and Iran when listing the United States’ “aggressive” adversaries on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.
Biden has been a strong ally to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky throughout the conflict and continues to press Congress to give more aid to the war-torn country, while some Republican lawmakers push against additional funding.
The clip of Whatley’s interview was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by journalist Aaron Rupar, who said that the RNC chair “says the quiet part loud” by portraying Ukraine as the adversary.
When listing America’s top adversaries, RNC Chair Whatley includes Ukraine (along with Iran and China) and omits Russia.

When Jake Tapper asked Representative Mike Turner, an Ohio Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, if he agrees with McCaul’s statement on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, he said: “It is absolutely true.”
