'Pretty gross but also very stupid': Madison Cawthorn blasted for bill blocking aid to Ukraine over Mexico border

Republican Congressmen Madison Cawthorn (NC) and Matt Rosendale (MT) are being blasted for bills they introduced as it became clear Russian President Vladimir Putin was intent on waging war against Ukraine. The bills, as GovTrack explains, "ban aid to Ukraine until Mexico border is secured."
Cawthorn's extremism has grown in the 14 months he's been a U.S. Congressman, but he may be best known for his trip to Hitler's vacation home, the Eagle’s Nest in Bavaria, when he was still a GOP candidate. On Instagram Cawthorn "referred to Hitler as 'the Fuhrer,'" which the Times of Israel says is a term of reverence, "and said the spot was on his 'bucket list.'"
According to GovTrack Cawthorn's bill "mandates that the number of Armed Force members deployed" to Ukraine "must be less than the number deployed to the Mexican border."
Tuesday evening Cawthorn, who has become one of the faces representing House Republicans (Rosendale is fairly unknown), was the target of outrage after his bill was revealed.
