MTG: ‘Under Republicans, Not Another Penny Will Go To Ukraine, Our Country Comes First’

Published on

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) promised on Thursday that “not another penny will go to Ukraine” if Republicans take back control of Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

“The only border they care about is Ukraine, not America’s southern border,” Greene said of Democrats at a Trump rally in Sioux City, Iowa. “Under Republicans, not another penny will go to Ukraine. Our country comes first. They don’t care about our border or our people.”

But Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t the only member of congress that’s calling for an end to Ukraine spending, according to The Hill. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) also suggested last month that Republicans would rein in Ukraine spending if they retake the House, as the GOP is projected to do, however, McCarthy did not go as far as to suggest the tap would be shut off completely.

“Ukraine is important, but at the same time it can’t be the only thing, and it can’t be a blank check,” McCarthy told Punchbowl News in October.

The comments made by McCarthy didn’t sit well with Democrats, as well as some of his Republican colleagues. The House minority leader appears to be at odds with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who has spearheaded Republican support for Ukraine aid.

Greene had warned that the Republican base would be “unhappy” if McCarthy did not give her more power in the House next term.

“I think that to be the best Speaker of the House and to please the base, he’s going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway,” Greene told The New York Times Magazine in October.
