Marjorie Taylor Greene leads MAGA fury as GOP leadership back crucial spending bill
Right-wing Georgia Republican insists she opposes continuing resolution because she does not want to fund the defence of Ukraine
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was furious on Thursday after Congress passed a bill that will prevent a partial government shutdown.
Ms Greene told The Independent that she opposed enacting a continuing resolution — necessary to avoid this weekend's deadline to have budgets in place — based on her opposition to US funding for Ukraine in its defence against Russia.
The Democratic-led Senate voted 77-18, and the Republican-led House followed suit, voting 314-108, in favour of the bill.
"I'm voting no to this funding bill, absolutely. I'm not going to vote for the CR," she said.
She then claimed the war in Ukraine was "pretty much over."
I yearn for the day that these neanderthals are no longer newsworthy, but I suspect it will never come in my lifetime.
I feel like I'd get exhausted with being angry all the time. Surely, it can't be good for you.
I’m in complete agreement. I read this headline over breakfast (my time zone) and I was mindful of how outraged I felt. I had to consciously pull back on my breathing and regulate my heart rate.
I don’t think this is a healthy state of affairs.
I was recently watching a video of a console release in the year 2000. Nobody had a phone back then, everyone was just calmly waiting for the midnight release of the PS2 or something. I want to be more like them. I'm trying to get less annoyed about small stuff.
