Right-wing Georgia Republican insists she opposes continuing resolution because she does not want to fund the defence of Ukraine
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was furious on Thursday after Congress passed a bill that will prevent a partial government shutdown.
Ms Greene told The Independent that she opposed enacting a continuing resolution — necessary to avoid this weekend’s deadline to have budgets in place — based on her opposition to US funding for Ukraine in its defence against Russia.
The Democratic-led Senate voted 77-18, and the Republican-led House followed suit, voting 314-108, in favour of the bill.
“I’m voting no to this funding bill, absolutely. I’m not going to vote for the CR,” she said.
She then claimed the war in Ukraine was “pretty much over.”
Since she thinks the war in Ukraine is “pretty much over”, I vote we send her to the front lines to verify that personally.
Again, since the war is “pretty much over” she won’t be needing a flak jacket or any kind of protection whatsoever. She can just waltz on over to Crimea in her crossfit gear. I’m sure she won’t die via landmine, artillery fire, or after being violently raped by the Russian military.
That’s Ok. I heard if it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to shut that whole thing down.
