'People are dying!' Rep. Rosa DeLauro explodes with anger during foreign aid hearing

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) did not contain her anger at Republicans Thursday over delays in funding aid to Ukraine.

At a House Rules Committee hearing on three foreign aid packages for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, DeLauro was asked to comment on Republicans complaining about border security even though they killed a bill that would have helped stem undocumented immigration.

"In many respects, we continue to sit here and to deal with revisionist history here," the lawmaker replied. "Lest we forget, it was the Trump administration that violated the Impoundment Control Act, illegally withholding security assistance from Ukraine."

"Let's not forget that when we think about what emboldened Putin, let us not forget the words of the former president, which everyone has invoked here today in some way or another, that Putin is his dearest friend," she continued. "Don't you think Putin is waiting very, very carefully to see another Trump administration?

"I sat in the White House, not in a classified meeting, where Republican colleagues said that we won't have Ukraine without bipartisan border security."

DeLauro noted that Donald Trump pushed Republicans to kill the border bill.

"And for months and months, we have been diddling around where people are dying in Ukraine," she remarked, raising her voice. "The moment is ours. And if the House of Representatives abdicates its responsibility, yes, the history will write the story. And that it is on us. When we had that moment, we said no. I, for one, will not say no."

"We're standing by and [watching] Ukrainians die!" she added. "If that's the way we want to be remembered in history, it's certainly not the way I want to be remembered!"
