White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki got snippy with Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton on Twitter, but she did not tell the entire story.

It happened after Sen. Cotton tweeted his support for sending more weapons to Ukraine to assist it in fighting Russia.

“No more timidity and half measures. It’s time to send Ukraine the weapons needed to end this invasion,” he said on Wednesday.

Apparently, it got the attention of the White House as Psaki responded on Friday.

.@TomCottonAR had a chance last week to back his words with actions by voting for the security assistance for Ukraine that the President announced yesterday. He and 30 of his fellow Senate Republicans voted against that money, the oppress secretary said.

“Those 31 Republican Senators voted against: -$13.6 billion for Ukraine -800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems -9000 anti-tank weapons -7000 small arms -20 million rounds of ammunition Our assistance is making a difference on the ground, and the President is delivering more,” she said.

Cotton responded to the tweet saying that it was not a simple bill to send aid to Ukraine, as Psaki appeared to indicate.

“The aid was <1% of an inflation-busting $1.5 trillion budget. It should have been sent *before* the invasion, but Biden blocked it to avoid offending Putin. @Pressec, why is Biden still buying Russian oil?” he said.

Newsweek reported:

The Senate passed a $1.5 trillion appropriations package on Thursday that included $13.6 billion in emergency humanitarian and military aid for Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion.

The legislation won bipartisan support but 31 Republican senators voted against the measure, with Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) saying he supported helping Ukraine but arguing the process was rushed. Other Republicans voiced similar concerns.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has now been going on for more than two weeks with Ukrainian forces offering strong resistance. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly called for more international assistance.

About half of the $13.6 billion will be spent on military aid for Ukraine as well as the cost of sending U.S. troops to NATO countries in Europe amid the crisis. The rest will be used for humanitarian aid and economic assistance. That aid is just one aspect of the much larger bill, which will fund the U.S. government and avoid a shutdown.

And when you have Sen. Romney on the side of that many Republicans on an issue it is worth taking notice.

“We have got to end the absurd process of jamming through last-minute, trillion-dollar, thousand-page spending bills without meaningful input from more than a handful of members,” the Utah Republican senator said.

“Forcing us to swallow the bad to get the good is concerning, unsustainable, and no way to govern over the long-term. While I strongly support providing Ukrainians desperately needed aid, I ultimately could not support the rest of this bloated spending bill for the aforementioned reasons,” he said.

The Republicans who voted against it were Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, John Boozman of Arkansas, Mike Braun of Indiana, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Mike Crapo of Idaho, Ted Cruz of Texas, Steve Daines of Montana, Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Josh Hawley of Missouri, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, John Kennedy of Louisiana, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Mike Lee of Utah, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Jim Risch of Idaho, Mitt Romney of Utah, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Marco Rubio of Florida, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Rick Scott of Florida, Tim Scott of South Carolina, Dan Sullivan of Arkansas, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
