Marjorie Taylor Greene is seething over her inability to halt aid to Ukraine and is unleashing blistering criticism on Speaker Mike Johnson and her fellow House members for pushing through the aid bill.
The far-right Representative, known for her staunch opposition to increasing aid to Ukraine, didn’t hold back her fury towards Johnson, whom she previously targeted with a motion to vacate.
“Mike Johnson betrayed America once again,” Greene wrote in a Saturday post on X. Her anger escalated further when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly thanked Johnson for the decision, prompting Greene to lash out, labeling Johnson a “traitor” to the nation.
“Zelensky thanks Speaker Mike Johnson (D-Ukraine) for sending $61 BILLION of your hard-earned tax dollars to fuel a foreign war,” Greene wrote in a second post. “Johnson once again passed a bill with the help of Democrats while the majority of the Republican majority voted against it. Not only is Mike Johnson a traitor to our conference, he’s a traitor to our country.”
Greene, a vocal advocate for Russia, vehemently opposed the aid package destined for Ukraine. Despite her efforts, the House passed a $95 billion foreign aid package, including the substantial allocation for Ukraine, after months of heated debate.
Greene didn’t reserve her criticism solely for Johnson; she also targeted her fellow GOP colleagues who opposed her efforts to strip funds for Kyiv, publicly calling out the 139 members who voted against her amendment.
“Here are the 139 Republicans who just voted against my amendment to strip every penny of your tax dollars from Mike Johnson’s $61 BILLION Ukraine war spending bill,” Greene said in her post on X, minutes before the foreign package passed and is now on its way to the Senate.
