Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was well-prepared when she got ambushed by a Washington Post journo asking why she doesn’t vote in favor of Ukraine aid packages.
The reporter approached MTG as she was walking to her vehicle in front of the US Congress building and asked why she has been opposed to sending money to Ukraine.
The @washingtonpost and the rest of the media are obsessed with another country while America faces crisis after crisis created by Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Why don’t they care about the invasion at our border, skyrocketing inflation, and a shortage of baby formula? pic.twitter.com/wYW8DPZ6az— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) May 12, 2022
The exchange was shared via the congresswoman’s Twitter.
“I think it’s terrible [what’s happening in Ukraine]. I feel very sorry for the Ukrainian people, but I was elected to represent my district in Georgia for the United States of America and right now our country is in crisis, our border is out of control – human trafficking, fentanyl – we have inflation out of control, gas prices out of control… baby formula, people cannot find baby formula… but our Congress is gonna send $40 billion to some other country?”
The Trump-supporting Georgia congresswoman added that Congress can send money to other countries after it helps American people.
At this point the reporter interjects that not all aid packages have involved pilfering from American taxpayer coffers, to which MTG argues that “sanctions [against Russia] have created more inflation and higher fuel costs that are hurting Americans.
“I’m not participating in anything that’s going to hurt Americans,” she adds.
“Has it stopped Putin? Let me ask you,” she continued. “Has Vladimir Putin stopped his war in Ukraine because of all these sanctions? No, not at all.”
“I care about our country, the United States of America, and our people. That’s it!” she tells the reporter, who proceeds to ask whether she cares about Ukraine.
“Look, I care about people,” she tells him, “but I serve in the United States of America’s Congress, and you write for the press of the United States of America. Why don’t you care about our people and the crises we’re going through? Then when you come around from that point, then you can think about looking at other countries, but we have enough problems here. Our tax dollars should help our people.”
Rep. Greene has also pressed her Democrat colleagues on the far left, including radical US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) – a proponent of Green New Deal legislation – to answer how the carbon output of the war in Ukraine squares with their climate change agenda.

(Why don’t you care about our people and the crises we’re going through?)
Democrats have never cared about Americans.
Neither did W, for that matter.
It’s too bad our corrupt government cares more about laundromat countries than their own citizens 🤪
Need a passive purge of every sob that sold us out
Amen.
I suppose now FR will get spammed with 50 more pro Ukraine agitprop. Can't have people getting the idea that maybe we need to take care of our own first.
Massive PURGE of the turds
Instead of just sending money and weapons, let’s send our retired generals and admirals over there.

I think there’s 3 out of 535 that have any concern whatsoever in making the middle class pay for DEM US front country on the other side of the world, where corruption is commonplace and accepted.
Neither did W, for that matter.
It’s possible to root for the people of Ukraine (if not for their kleptocratic corrupt government) and also realize we can’t be sending them any money right now because we’ve got more pressing issues at home.

Go back and watch Jennifer Griffin, Geraldo, Hannity, and Brett Baier, and it can’t be any more obvious this was a campaign from day one to get America to send hundreds of Billions (in progress) to a corrupt regime on the other side of the world.
It’s right in front of your face.

McConnell is a Uniparty snake. He needs to be booted from leadership or I am done with the Republican Party.
Gotta love this woman. She’s got more balls than the rest of Congress combined. She is a fighter.
Yep.
Watch ‘Shooter’ The Senator (who comes off like Maverick John) says:
“There ain’t no Democrats or Republicans anymore, Gunny. There are only the Haves and the Have-Nots.”
And the movie was right about that.
The overwhelming majority of them couldn’t care less about us peons.
Wish I had the movie clip to post.
You are done with the Republican Party. McConnell being booted from a leadership position is not going to happen. You may as well pack your bags now and head for the door.
MTG is right on........Biden is using the Ukraiine conflict as a diversion from the debacles he has created at home, and for Canada and Mexico too.
MAGA.
Get rid of Biden and his Trotskyites who want an America in continous revlooshun againstthe Constitution and The People.
Biden and his Trotskyites are parasites oon America’s bodyt politic and The People now suffer the wages of sa stolen election.
Joe Biden is no president of the United States. It shows.Biden is just a proxy puppet for Obama’s war on America.Biden’s key staff are Obama hold overs. And what other puppets are there? Pete Boot edge edge. Mayorcas and many others. Mere puppets.
MTG is having none of it. Good on her!
