During a CNN interview, host Kaitlan Collins challenged Congressman Chip Roy on his assertion that former President Joe Biden bears significant responsibility for the Russia-Ukraine war. Roy claimed that the war began under Biden's leadership, stating that weak energy policies and alignment with adversaries like Iran and China emboldened Russia. In a heated exchange, Collins emphasized that the war was initiated by Russia's invasion, while Roy maintained that a stronger U.S. stance under President Trump would have deterred such aggression from Putin.
The war started under Joe Biden's watch, Roy said. He destroyed our energy policies. He empowered Russia. He sided with Iran and China, which was also helping Russia.
All I know is there weren't a lot of wars getting started under President Trump, Roy said. In his four years, what war started under President Trump?
Putin obviously invaded Ukraine, but the reason that happened was because of weakness from the United States, Roy responded.
Collins pressed Rep. Chip Roy about who is ultimately responsible for the conflict. Who do you blame for that war? Collins asked.
