Marjorie Taylor Greene, the firebrand Republican congresswoman, has once again stirred controversy with her latest inflammatory remarks. Speaking at a rally, Greene warned that continued US support for Ukraine could lead to a 'civil war' within the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
The Georgia representative, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, claimed that diverting funds to Ukraine instead of addressing domestic issues would fracture the Republican base. 'This is not what the American people voted for,' Greene declared, drawing both cheers and jeers from the crowd.
Backlash from Both Sides
Greene's comments have drawn sharp criticism from across the political spectrum. Democrats have condemned her rhetoric as dangerous, while some Republicans have distanced themselves from her extreme stance.
Political analysts suggest this latest outburst could further alienate moderate voters ahead of the 2024 elections. 'This kind of divisive language helps no one,' commented one senior GOP strategist.
Ukraine's Ongoing Struggle
The controversy comes as Ukraine continues its defence against Russian aggression. Western military aid remains crucial for Kyiv's forces, making Greene's opposition particularly contentious.
White House officials have reiterated America's commitment to supporting Ukraine, calling such isolationist rhetoric 'short-sighted and dangerous' to global security.
