A new political ad released by MeidasTouch on Tuesday is using extremist congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) own words to expose the sinister reality of the Republican party in 2022.
In the video —which has gone viral— Greene’s claim that lawmakers like her are “not the fringe” but “the base of the party” is looped alongside footage of her parroting Kremlin talking points about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and leading a crowd of supporters into a “Putin” chant.
The biting ad also features Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “thug” and former President Donald Trump hailing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression toward his neighboring country as “genius.”
The online spot comes as Greene is facing backlash for blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia.
“You see Ukraine kept just poking the bear and poking the bear, which is Russia,” she said during an interview on Rural America Network. “Russia is being very successful in their invasion, even though we hear different things on television,” she added despite the fact that Russia is facing fierce Ukrainian resistance and is suffering a massive number of casualties.
