While the package itself, which passed in a 311 to 112 vote, faced fierce opposition among some lawmakers, others took particular offense to a moment at the end of the vote when Democrats began passing around Ukrainian flags to wave as the timer on the vote expired.

The flag waving was blasted by more GOP lawmakers on social media, with Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., arguing that members of the House showed they care "more about Ukraine than you."

"Democrats chanted ‘Ukraine’ while waving Ukrainian flags on the Floor of the UNITED STATES House of Representatives," Biggs said on X. "The Uniparty approved $60.8 billion more for Ukraine while the US quickly approached $35 trillion in debt."

"Too much Ukraine. Not enough USA," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah quipped on X while sharing a video of the flag waving.

The display was also derided by Nicole Shanahan, the running mate of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
"I remember as a 12 year old waking up in downtown Oakland and realizing our car had been broken into and the $1.50 I was relying on to buy a McDonald’s breakfast sandwich had been stolen," Shanahan said on X. "Watching our leadership today send $60B to Ukraine while waving another nation’s flag is gut-wrenching. What about Americans?"
