‘Moscow Marjorie’ Taylor Greene, GOP rebels defeated as House passes $61B in Ukraine aid package

Lawmakers in a rare bipartisan effort overwhelmingly approved the four-bill package, including one measure providing $60.8 billion for Ukraine.

About 80%  of that money will go toward replenishing supplies of US-made weapons and ammunition and other direct military assistance.

Another $9.5 billion is in the form of a forgivable loan.

The bill passed 311-112 with all “nay” votes coming from Republicans, including Greene who was hailed as “Moscow Marjorie” by members of both major political parties.

“Putin’s Special Envoy to Congress already delivering for Mother Russia,” quipped Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) afterward.

He was responding to a social media post by Greene saying, “Mike Johnson’s House of Representatives so proud to work for Ukraine. Not the American people!!! It’s despicable.”

Former Rep. Ken Buck (R-Co.) a day earlier told CNN “Moscow Marjorie has reached a new low… She is just mouthing Russian propaganda.”

Johnson told reporters the foreign aid package – which also assists Israel, Taiwan and other allies – isn’t perfect but is desperately needed because “it’s a dangerous time” for Americans.

“Three of our primary adversaries, Russia, Iran, and China are working together … and they’re a global threat to our prosperity and our security,” he said. “Their advance threatens the free world, and it demands American leadership.”

“If we turn our backs right now the consequences could be devastating,” he added, “It’s an old military adage, but we would rather send bullets to the conflict overseas than our own boys, our troops.

Greene unsuccessfully attempted to derail the deal with multiple amendments, including one meant to troll her critics, calling “for the development of space laser technology on the southwest border.”

Before being elected to Congress, a post of hers on Facebook in 2018 alleged that the Rothschild banking family helped deploy “Jewish space lasers” that had caused wildfires in California

$95.3 billion foreign aid bill passed by the House Saturday includes:

Ironically, the bill will help fund Israel’s Iron Beam particle weapon that is designed to use lasers to shoot down incoming drones and missiles.

The 112 votes against the Ukrainian aid bill also included New York Republicans Nick Langworthy, Nicole Malliotakis, Elise Stefanik and Claudia Tenney.

Lawmakers approved the package, the vast majority of which is direct military assistance, in separate votes.

Final Congressional approval is expected to come on Tuesday when the package is sent to the Senate.

President Biden has said he’ll sign it into law.

In addition to Ukraine support, a measure in the bill provides roughly $17 billion in direct military aid for Israel, and a little over $9 billion in humanitarian aid for Gaza and other war-torn regions.

It passed 366-58 with dissenting members including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and other “Squad” members and Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) and Freedom Caucus members.
