Conservatives Quickly Turn Against “Idiot” Marjorie Taylor Greene

The Georgia Republican is fast falling out of favor for her opposition to the Ukraine aid bill.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s failed fight to end aid to Ukraine, and her sort-of-serious crusade against House Speaker Mike Johnson, has cost her the support of right-wing media.

The Sunday front page of the New York Post, owned by the conservative Murdoch family, was the latest outlet to attack Greene, invoking the “Moscow Marjorie” nickname coined by former representative Ken Buck.

Fox News, another arm of the Murdoch media empire, had already taken aim at the Georgia Republican last week, with columnist Liz Peek calling her an “idiot” and saying she needs to “turn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats.” This follows an editorial last month from The Wall Street Journal, also in the Murdoch portfolio, that called Greene “Rep. Mayhem Taylor Greene” and accused her and her allies of being “most interested in TV hits and internet donors.” 

Even a non-Murdoch outlet is on the attack, as conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Debra Saunders demanded to know “who put Marjorie Taylor Greene in charge?”

If Ukraine falls, it makes Russia more likely to invade other places, and it makes China more likely to invade Taiwan.

We can either end this war now by punishing Russia enormously, or the war grows to become WW3.

Maybe our NATO allies should have spent that 2% as was suggested.

We need to prepare for Taiwan, where we have a verbal agreement.

I have no issues sending weapons to Ukraine but it can't be at the expense of Israel and Taiwan.

I am 100% against sending boots on the ground unless they keep attacking nuclear plants. That is an attack on humanity.

Fuck Israel, they’re genocidal dipshits. They don’t deserve aid.

According to our government they are not. We also have strong support for Israel. We have to meet our obligations else others won’t take us seriously.

If you feel our support is unjustified. Write your senator. Israel has a special relationship with America and right or wrong, I don’t see that changing.
