A group of pro-Ukraine Republicans in Georgia has given U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Rome a “F” for her lack of support for the embattled nation that is fighting for it’s sovereignty against Russia.
Republicans for Ukraine put out the scorecard in conjunction with a new ad campaign aimed at persuading more GOP members of Congress to support more U.S. spending to aid Ukraine’s war against Russia. Lawmakers were graded based on criteria including their support for previous aid packages to Ukraine and public statements about the war.
Reps. Mike Collins of Jackson and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Rome received “F” marks.
“Now is a pivotal time for Americans, especially Republicans, to support Ukraine,” said Gunner Ramer, national spokesman for Republicans for Ukraine. “For just 5% of our annual defense budget, America has helped Ukraine destroy half of Russia’s army and liberate its territory and people. This is a great return on investment for American national security.”
President Joe Biden, who addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, is asking Congress for an additional $24 billion in security and humanitarian aid for Ukraine. Many Republican lawmakers have balked at the idea, arguing the U.S. should instead focus more spending on combating illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
