Marjorie Taylor Greene echoes Kremlin talking points and accuses Biden of funding 'NATO Nazis' in Ukraine

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Tuesday echoed Kremlin talking points and accused President Joe Biden of arming what she described as "NATO Nazis" in Ukraine.

"Democrats have been calling Republicans, President Trump, and his supporters Nazis since 2015," Greene wrote on Twitter. "But the Dems have been funding *actual* Nazis since the Obama/Biden administration. Funding to neo-Nazis in Ukraine only stopped under President Trump... Last week, Congress voted to fund Ukraine with $13.6 BILLION in lethal aid. How much U.S. taxpayer cash will end up in the hands of the neo-Nazis in Ukraine?"

While there have been legitimate concerns raised in the past about military aid to Ukraine falling into the hands of far-right militias in the country, the aid approved by Congress is being given directly towards Ukraine's actual military.

Is this person going to stand up today when Volodymyr Zelenskyy addresses the Congress....is she going to be allowed to be in the chamber with that other right wing person...... because the minute she does something the sgt. of arms should escort her and anyone else out of the chamber....

12. They don't need to say anything. Even in this, the media provides "bothsiderize" cover

From the excerpt the OP peovided:

"While there have been legitimate concerns raised in the past about military aid to Ukraine falling into the hands of far-right militias in the country..."

There is no other reason to include the above in the media story, other than to give legitimacy to the NATO Nazi bullshit.

It's almost as if, while it was being written, the reporter said; "Damn, that's some crazy shit she's spewing, I'd better put something in there to provide cover for this crazy shit"

You'd have to dig through reams of obscure, crazy, Telegram, Freaker Retrumplic horseshit to come up with "US military aid going to NATO Nazis in Ukraine"

Of course, this means that when this Russian propaganda is fact checked, they can claim it as "partially true".

That's all the cover a Nazi like Greene needs

I think her purpose is just to be as nasty and disruptive as possible. She serves no other purpose.

10. They need their framing video for Fools News and such, same BS track they never stray from?

All ultimately for FEEDOM, the buck, dollar bills, paper?

11. The 2010's saw what I've begun calling...

“The Rise of the Surrogacy”

Greene, Boebert, Thomas, and many more on the right are the Surrogates.

They are largely puppets driven by an individual or group. Which as odious as the puppet is could never get directly elected or achieve the office the puppet holds because they are far worse. Also, they are personal cowards and their egos will not allow them to take the hits afforded by being themselves in any public setting. AKA assholes

To be a surrogate means having little self awareness or esteem. They have indications of being ‘groomed’ for their roles and are highly compliant with the wishes of their handlers.

Boebert is close to a perfect example of a surrogate as is Barrett (although Barrett is far more subtle and therefore effective)

Kavanaugh is not necessarily a surrogate and you’ve seen the difficulty he has experienced obtaining his position. He’s more likely to use surrogates than to be such.

This practice goes way back in especially evangelist venues and then moved into business when having a minority front became advantageous. Advertising “woman owners” when plainly the person named had little decision making authority within the organization.

It’s a disturbing trend that is starting to be all too common.
