Russia's unprovoked war upon Ukraine is causing a political schizophrenia for many Republicans. They assail President Biden as too weak in taking on Russia, but don't want to offend their own party's leader, Donald Trump, a fan of Vladimir Putin.
You can see their contortions in plain view - and by a little monitoring of their preferred venue, Fox News.
McCarthy had blasted Biden for not providing more military assistance to Ukraine: "Sadly President Biden consistently chose appeasement." Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) earlier charged Putin was "walking all over" the president.
They apparently forgot that Donald Trump actually withheld aide to Ukraine - unless Ukraine delivered some dirt on Joe Biden. Trump was impeached for this, but McCarthy and Graham dismissed it as a "nothingburger."
Then there is the hawkish Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, who on ABC last weekend accused the president of "pussyfooting around. The financial sanctions are riddled with loopholes."
Four times moderator George Stephanopoulos asked Cotton if he would condemn Trump's praise of Putin. Four times Cotton refused.
