Controversial Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has ignited a firestorm with her latest remarks about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and former US President Donald Trump’s relationship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Speaking at a recent event, Greene accused Zelensky of "pushing propaganda" and manipulating US politics, while praising Trump’s ability to "get along" with Putin. Her comments have drawn sharp criticism from both sides of the political aisle.
Greene’s Controversial Claims
Greene alleged that Zelensky has undue influence over American policymakers, claiming he "controls" the narrative around Ukraine’s war with Russia. She also suggested that US aid to Ukraine is misguided, despite bipartisan support for the country’s defence against Russian aggression.
Praise for Trump’s Putin Ties
In a further provocative statement, Greene lauded Trump’s relationship with Putin, describing it as a model of diplomacy. "President Trump knew how to talk to Putin," she said, contrasting it with the Biden administration’s approach.
Backlash and Condemnation
Greene’s remarks have been met with widespread condemnation. Critics accuse her of parroting Kremlin talking points and undermining US foreign policy. Some have even called for disciplinary action against her in Congress.
As tensions between the US and Russia remain high, Greene’s comments add fuel to an already heated debate over America’s role in supporting Ukraine.
