'GOP is getting sick of Trump': Republican lawmaker's 'act of war' comment raises alarms

"The GOP is getting sick of Trump allowing Putin to humiliate the Republican party." That's what one person said after a conservative lawmaker spoke out against Russia's actions.

South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson spoke out late Tuesday night, saying, "Russia is attacking NATO ally Poland with Iranian shahed drones less than a week after President Trump hosted President Nawrocki at the White House."

"This is an act of war, and we are grateful to NATO allies for their swift response to war criminal Putin’s continued unprovoked aggression against free and productive nations," Wilson wrote. "I urge President Trump to respond with mandatory sanctions that will bankrupt the Russian war machine and arm Ukraine with weapons capable of striking Russia."

He then added, "Putin is no longer content just losing in Ukraine while bombing mothers and babies, he is now directly testing our resolve in NATO territory."

"Putin stated that 'Russia knows no borders.' Free and prosperous nations will teach Russia about borders," Wilson wrote.

Jay in Kyiv, a popular account on X that comes from an American in Ukraine, said, "The GOP is getting sick of Trump allowing Putin to humiliate the Republican Party."

"Russia never attacked Poland under Biden. Why?" the foreign policy analyst asked early on Wednesday morning. "Although Biden is guilty of slow walking weapons and restricting strikes, he would have absolutely sanctioned Putin into the ground for sending 14 drones to attack Poland."

Numerous other high-profile users also flagged Wilson's comment about the "act of war."
