Marjorie Taylor Greene Rages at Republican Hawks: We Shouldn’t Bomb Iran On ‘Behalf of Other Countries’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) dropped an angry screed on Friday, attacking the foreign policy hawks in her party and taking an apparent swipe at congressional leadership.

“I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,” she began in the lengthy post, adding:

I campaigned for no more foreign wars.

And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran.

I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength.

Greene, alongside fellow Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), has regularly voted against pro-Israel legislation in the House. Greene voted against all three of the Israel aid bills following the October 7th attack, as well as a bill to force arms sales to Israel to go forward during the Biden presidency.

“And on top of that, now we are told that we have signed a deal for mineral rights in Ukraine, in order to pay us back for the hundreds of billions of dollars that we gave Ukraine and they used for money laundering, sold the weapons we gave them to our enemies, and their leader is a dictator who canceled elections, was involved of the first impeachment of Trump, and campaigned for Biden,” Greene continued, accusing the U.S. of trying to “occupy” Ukraine:

Didn’t we learn our lesson when we went to war in Iraq and killed Saddam Hussein because of “weapons of mass destruction?”

Did we ever find any? And did any of that oil over in the Middle East make us rich? The answer is no, we are $36 trillion in debt today.

So why on earth would we go over and occupy Ukraine and spend an untold amount of future American taxpayer dollars defending and mining their minerals as well as potentially putting American lives at risk and future war?

Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?

Greene went on to fume about a whole raft of issues, including Covid-19, trans issues, and “election integrity” – all of which she said the current GOP is not doing enough to counter.

“When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that,” Greene concluded.
