When Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared on conservative radio show Voice of Rural America this week, she launched a full-throated defence of Vladimir Putin and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“You see, Ukraine just kept poking the bear, and poking the bear, which is Russia, and Russia invaded,” the Georgia congresswoman said. “There is no win for Ukraine here. Russia is being successful in their invasion.”…
“Trump is primarily the leader in terms of those comments,” said Olivia Troye, a one-time senior adviser to former vice-president Mike Pence who has since become a vocal critic of the previous administration.
“[Greene and Cawthorn] are the Trump wing of the Republican party, hands down. They are his biggest supporters, his biggest allies, the most outspoken,” Troye added. “I am not surprised, being the conspiracy-ascribing people that they are . . . they will lie about everything just to get the sound byte.”
