American here but she's an enemy of mine. Slava Ukraini.

She's an enemy of the state in the US as well. Constantly disrupting official proceedings, spouting Russian talking points, ignoring decorum. She's a fucking tool.

Reminder: Conservatives already labelled themselves as enemies of the USA.

By all means, invite her to witness what’s going on at the front. It would be awfully regrettable if she met an untimely end while on her tour. By which I mean, I would regret that this tactic hadn’t been tried sooner. She’s a quisling fascist of the highest order, and a categorical shitbag of a human being.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed Monday that she is an "enemy of the state" in the eyes of the Ukrainian government, though officials tell Newsweek that no such list exists.

Greene, a lawmaker from Georgia, has been one of the most outspoken voices in Congress against providing continued military and foreign aid to Ukraine in its two-plus-year war with Russia.

Last week, she received support from 46 fellow House Republicans on an amendment that would strike over "$433 million in NATO funding" from a Military Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations bill, saying that the U.S. is "paying more than its fair share."

In a June 10 post on X, formerly Twitter, Greene touted "not giving a single penny to Ukraine" and said a so-called enemies list reinforces her opposition to funding the Eastern European nation.

Her post includes an image of her name on said list, blaming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while admonishing him as a leader and calling him the real "enemy."

The report has four authors who contributed to the project, said to have been funded exclusively by site readers and aimed to discover "inconsistencies" in how U.S. politicians have approached the ongoing war—and, in some cases, flip-flopped back and forth in terms of pro-Ukraine sentiment including approving aid.

The original article contains 691 words, the summary contains 211 words. Saved 69%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
