Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) fumed Friday about people demanding that Congress approve more military aid to Ukraine, arguing that it is tantamount to “paying for the slaughter and the murder” of Ukrainian soldiers.
“This whole thing is the most repulsive, disgusting thing happening, and the American people are the ones writing the check,” the Georgia Republican told former White House adviser Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast.
“I absolutely hate everybody here that is doing this,” she added. “I seriously hate them for doing this.”

Greene said her “stomach flipped” at the thought of providing Ukraine with President Biden’s $60 billion emergency funding request, and predicted that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) — who she has threatened to have removed from the speaker’s office — will eventually find a way to pass the measure.
“Everybody should be demanding that the Republican-elected speaker of the House stop listening to the garbage and lies that he’s being told and do the right thing,” Greene said, arguing that the $60 billion would be better spent on US border security.

The congresswoman claimed that “amputees” and “injured soldiers” are being trotted out to the frontlines of Ukraine’s battle with Russia because Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is being forced by US politicians to continue the fight.
“America is breathing down their throats and saying, ‘You must continue to fight and we’re going to pay for it and force you to do it,’” Greene told Bannon.
The Republican firebrand also dismissed fears that Russian President Vladimir Putin has interest in invading other European nations and questioned why the Biden administration is so keen on providing military support for a non-NATO nation.

Greene argued that an “entire generation of Ukrainian men” are being wiped out because of American politicians funding Ukraine’s defensive war against Russia.

“That is the only country that — for some weird, sick and evil reason — that they care about,” Greene said.
“They don’t care about you at home.”
For nearly two months, the House has stalled on passing a $95 billion Senate-approved national security package with funding for Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region.

Greene has warned Johnson that a vote on Ukraine aid could trigger her to introduce a motion to vacate, the same legislative procedure that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) used last October to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)
The last US aid package to Ukraine was sent in March, some $300 million worth of military equipment from existing US stockpiles.
