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.”
Anything that makes her mad is probably a good thing.
Yup. though I kinda wanna see her oust Mike “God Said I was the Second Coming Of Moses” Johnson.
I can be petty like that.
From your fingers to the Spaghetti Monster’s eyeballs.
From your fingers to my anus
I’m petty’ing right along with Ya.
The only problem with that is the sedition minded Republicans will come up with somebody even worse
I’m waiting for them to piss off enough old-giard Republicans that a few of them form a Coalition with the Dems.
But there will be plenty of infighting and flailing about, leaving congress with the inability to do anything in an election year. Swing voters are dumb so they need constant reminder of why the GOP sucks.
