Pushing the ouster of House Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday put a “MUGA” (Make Ukraine Great Again) hat on a poster of him and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and denounced “forever wars.”
“The uniparty is ‘Make Ukraine Great Again.’ The uniparty is all about funding every single foreign war. They think this is the business model that needs to be done,” the Georgia Republican said at a news conference where she announced plans to push a vote next week to oust Johnson as Speaker.
Greene was taking issue with Johnson, a Republican, successfully passing a foreign aid package last month that included $61 billion in aid for Ukraine — something she and other far-right Republicans have opposed.
“Americans do not want to send their hard-earned tax dollars to fund the murder and killing in foreign countries — they’re fed up with it,” Greene said. “They're screaming it as loud as they possibly can. Our economy should not be built on the blood of wars in foreign countries. That's not what our economy should be built on. That's not how you grow jobs in America.”
She and a few other far-right Republicans also argue Johnson should be ousted from his role since he has relied on Democratic support for several high-profile bills.
