Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has fired back at Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) after the outgoing congresswoman trashed her speech at President Donald Trump’s “Save America” rally in Iowa.
Greene echoed many in the Republican Party, including House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), saying “under Republicans, not another penny will go to Ukraine.”
Cheney shared a clip of Greene making that statement and captioned the video with: “This is exactly what Putin wants.
“If we’d had Republicans like this in the 1980s, we would have lost the Cold War.”

Greene responded on Twitter with:
“There are two things that are in the past.
“You and your Daddy’s Republican Party that sent our military to fight foreign wars on the backs of American tax dollars and didn’t win a damn thing.
“You.”
There are two things that are in the past.
1. You and your Daddy’s Republican Party that sent our military to fight foreign wars on the backs of American tax dollars and didn’t win a damn thing.
2. You. https://t.co/cneLwdkxQ8

During her speech, Greene said:
“Republicans are going to have to be the new Republican Party.
“We can no longer be the party of Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Dick Cheney, George Bush, and Mitt Romney or any other sell-out, weak Republican.”
David Sacks, a co-founder of Paypal who is now working with Elon Musk at Twitter, said:
“US policy is inherently contradictory: It seeks to inflict a defeat on Russia so decisive that even Crimea will be taken back, but not so decisive that Russia will use nukes.
“As soon as one acknowledges that the nuclear threat is real, as administration officials have now done, there’s only logical conclusion: trying to retake Crimea would be insane.
“But retaking Crimea is Ukraine’s stated war aim, so that means US policy can’t just be ‘whatever Zelinsky says’.”
