By Conover Kennard — April 9, 2024

Republicans are now the party of Putin, with even some of their voters supporting the Russian dictator over President Biden. Former GOP Rep. Ken Buck spoke with Erin Burnett on 'OutFront,' and assigned a well-earned nickname to controversial Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, referring to her as 'Moscow Marjorie.'

"So Congressman, you heard Sunlin talk about some of the conspiracies Greene has pushed over the years, and obviously now saying that, you know, if the Speaker doesn't do what she wants regarding Ukraine, she's going to go ahead with what she can now do, right, just takes one to force a vote on the speakership," Burnett said. "Does it worry you that she has this much power in the House of Representatives?"

"Well, Marjorie has this much power because we have such a small majority at this point in time," Buck said. "Mike Johnson, the Speaker, is on the right side of history, and Marjorie is on the wrong side of history."

"We know that Russia is propagating these false statements and narratives about what's going on in Ukraine," he continued. "We know that she is getting her talking points from Russia. And we know that they're false."
