Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell deemed Iran, China and Russia the new 'axis of evil' and said the Israel-Hamas war is a 'worldwide problem.'
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Sunday deemed China, Russia and Iran the new 'axis of evil' amid wars in Ukraine and Israel, while addressing U.S. funding of allies' responses to those duel conflicts. In a new sit-down interview with 'Fox News Sunday' host Shannon Bream, McConnell, the highest-ranking Senate Republican, agreed with fellow Republican Kentuckian Sen. Rand Paul that the $1.5 trillion deficit is 'entirely too big.
The question is, is American going to lead?' McConnell posed to Bream. 'I think the Biden administration sent the wrong signal and they had the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. I think that was like giving a green light to Putin to go into Ukraine. And we see that Iran, principal sponsor of terrorism, sending drones to the Russians and attacking – Hezbollah and in this particular situation, Hamas – attacking the Israelis with drones. So it’s all connected.
