Mitch McConell says the quiet part out loud.
Exact full quote from CNN:
“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

It was absolutely that you couldn’t answer the question; you know it, I know it, and everyone reading this knows it.
Just like you also know that trying to tar anyone who doesn’t believe any and all accusations of genocide, no matter how obviously bad faith, as a genocide denier is an obviously cynical and disingenuous rhetorical technique that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny, and which you wouldn’t be willing to be subject to yourself. Do you believe the claims of Donbas genocide? How about white farmer genocide in South Africa? How about White Genocide in America?
Nobody cares if you made up some stupid little name for it like whataboutism and declared it against the ‘rules’. We’re still going to point your obvious double standards as proof of your dishonesty
