MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed Monday that she is an "enemy of the state" in the eyes of the Ukrainian government, though officials tell Newsweek that no such list exists.
Greene, a lawmaker from Georgia, has been one of the most outspoken voices in Congress against providing continued military and foreign aid to Ukraine in its two-plus-year war with Russia.
Last week, she received support from 46 fellow House Republicans on an amendment that would strike over "$433 million in NATO funding" from a Military Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations bill, saying that the U.S. is "paying more than its fair share."
In a June 10 post on X, formerly Twitter, Greene touted "not giving a single penny to Ukraine" and said a so-called enemies list reinforces her opposition to funding the Eastern European nation.
Her post includes an image of her name on said list, blaming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while admonishing him as a leader and calling him the real "enemy."
The report has four authors who contributed to the project, said to have been funded exclusively by site readers and aimed to discover "inconsistencies" in how U.S. politicians have approached the ongoing war—and, in some cases, flip-flopped back and forth in terms of pro-Ukraine sentiment including approving aid.
