US Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky made the rounds on the Sunday morning news shows.

He was asked about his support for Ukraine and increasing the national defense budget.

He also addressed those same issues on Friday during a visit to the center that bears his name at the University of Louisville, Referring to the foreign aid package that was eventually signed into law last week, which included more than $60 billion for Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

Senator McConnell said supporting Ukraine is the right thing to do.

We just experienced a very frustrating effort here, largely in my party, to get the funding to Ukraine.

There's no good argument to oppose funding for Ukraine, no good argument.

None of our personnel are being killed.

More than half the money being spent is being spent in this country, including in Kentucky.

And 38 states Europeans are actually doing on the domestic side more than we are.

And almost half of the NATO countries are spending more as a percentage of their gross domestic product on defense.

Now, as we are.

Leader McConnell also took the opportunity to side with Israel and against chaotic campus protests, which have led to more than 900 arrests at campuses across the country.

I have been disturbed, and I hope this is not one of the campuses that I am talking about, but the level of anti-Semitism among younger people and the tactics the university president, some of them have resigned to get serious about order on the campus.

There have yet to be similar demonstrations at colleges in Kentucky.

The first such protests started more than a week ago at Columbia University in New York City.
