On Sunday, a Bay State congressman joined a colleague from conservative Wyoming to call for unity in the face of an escalating conflict in Ukraine, which they say represents an existential threat to democracy globally.
“The United States — and Congress — must continue to deliver a strong and unequivocal answer, because democracy everywhere is fragile. Strains of authoritarianism here at home make that painfully clear,” U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., said in a joint Washington Post Op-Ed published Sunday.
“In defending Ukraine’s democracy, we stand up for our own. In combating tyranny overseas, we strengthen our freedom at home,” they said.
