Guess Where Marjorie Taylor Greene Has Suddenly Gotten Popular?

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s conspiracy theories, vitriolic language, and xenophobia have made her a darling of the right and a pariah on the left—and now, she’s gained admiration from Russian state television.

Greene’s attempts to block aid to Ukraine, her criticisms of NATO, and her beliefs that the United States should withdraw from the alliance have drawn plaudits from TV hosts in Russia, The Daily Beast reported Friday.

“She believes that Americans should help Putin win. Yes, you heard that right. To help him win in Ukraine,” says host Evgeny Popov in one clip.




It’s a new development for Greene, who previously was mocked in the country for confusing gazpacho with Gestapo and claiming that Jewish space lasers caused the California wildfires. Russian TV even said her words were proof of “mental debilitation” in Western politics. But Greene may be happy to know that her echoing of Russian propaganda in the House of Representatives has paid off, despite the fact that the issue of aid to Ukraine has divided the Republican Party. It looks like former Representative Ken Buck was right on the money when he called her “Moscow Marjorie.”

... but I cannot conceive of enough obscenities to adequately describe what an utter piece of shit traitor Empty Greene is.

If that bitch is reelected, her district should be fenced off so its brain-dead Red-hatted inhabitants can eat each other. The good and decent people subjected to her disgusting behavior will be sheltered until the jerks are deprogrammed.

if they want to hold MTG up as an example of 'what Americans think'.

Trying desperately to rationalize and justify the unjustifiable and irrational war with Ukraine.

Let her run her mouth in the Kremlin and see how Putin likes living with that.

And visit Russia/Putin. She needs to pack warmer clothing if she plans on spending the winter. In Moscow, Russia, the average winter temperature is between -3°C (25ºF) and -9°C (14ºF), but it can reach as low as -42°C (-44ºF).

And conspired to this end years ago.

Odd, the Russian media lies when we disagree, and tells only the most honest of truths when we agree. Or maybe they're just opportunistic propagandists? Pomerantsev ... Why does that name come to mind?
