Marjorie Taylor Greene previews GOP House efforts with Ukraine resolution

WASHINGTON — In a potential preview of a House of Representatives under the control of a Republican Party eager to stymie President Biden’s agenda, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Thursday introduced a measure that called on Congress to conduct an audit of U.S. assistance to Ukraine.

The resolution would subject potentially sensitive information, as well as routine funding, to intense partisan scrutiny. “We’re asking for everything to do with military, civilian and financial aid. We want it all,” Greene said at an afternoon news conference at the U.S. Capitol.

The White House recently requested another $38 billion in aid for Ukraine, which has spent the last year repelling an invasion by Russia, its much bigger and more powerful neighbor. Concerns about how long Washington can support the Ukrainian effort have become increasingly mainstream, but Greene’s proposal went well beyond the ordinary skepticism.

“The question is, is Ukraine now the 51st state of the United States of America?” Greene said, comparing Washington’s support of Ukraine’s sovereignty to what she falsely described as an open-border policy at the U.S. border with Mexico, where thousands of migrants arrive each day to seek asylum.

Wonder if she's been in communication with former Russian President Medvedev?

At the table.

Marjie needs to know the facts. But then, facts do not matter where she is concerned.
