Conservatives Quickly Turn Against ā€œIdiotā€ Marjorie Taylor Greene

The Georgia Republican is fast falling out of favor for her opposition to the Ukraine aid bill.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greeneā€™s failed fight to end aid to Ukraine, and herĀ sort-of-serious crusadeĀ against House Speaker Mike Johnson, has cost her the support of right-wing media.

The Sunday front page of the New York Post, owned by the conservative Murdoch family, was the latest outlet toĀ attackĀ Greene, invoking the ā€œMoscow Marjorieā€ nicknameĀ coinedĀ by former representative Ken Buck.

Fox News, another arm of the Murdoch media empire, had alreadyĀ taken aimĀ at the Georgia Republican last week, with columnist Liz PeekĀ callingĀ her an ā€œidiotā€ and saying she needs to ā€œturn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats.ā€ This follows an editorial last month from The Wall Street Journal, also in the Murdoch portfolio, that called Greene ā€œRep. Mayhem Taylor Greeneā€ and accused her and her allies of being ā€œmost interested in TV hits and internet donors.ā€

Even a non-Murdoch outlet is on the attack, as conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Debra SaundersĀ demandedĀ to know ā€œwho put Marjorie Taylor Greene in charge?ā€

    It isnā€™t our war to fight? Do you have idea what happens if Ukraine loses, and Putin absorbs that territory? Donā€™t suffer Trumpā€™s lies, we absolutely do need NATO.

      If Ukraine falls, as an American how does it change my life? It doesnā€™t. What treaties do we have with Ukraine for defense? Zero.

      And who mentioned nato? Ukraine isnā€™t a member of nato

        If Ukraine falls, it makes Russia more likely to invade other places, and it makes China more likely to invade Taiwan.

        We can either end this war now by punishing Russia enormously, or the war grows to become WW3.

          Maybe our NATO allies should have spent that 2% as was suggested.

          We need to prepare for Taiwan, where we have a verbal agreement.

          I have no issues sending weapons to Ukraine but it canā€™t be at the expense of Israel and Taiwan.

          I am 100% against sending boots on the ground unless they keep attacking nuclear plants. That is an attack on humanity.

              According to our government they are not. We also have strong support for Israel. We have to meet our obligations else others wonā€™t take us seriously.

              If you feel our support is unjustified. Write your senator. Israel has a special relationship with America and right or wrong, I donā€™t see that changing.
