Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s conspiracy theories, vitriolic language, and xenophobia have made her a darling of the right and a pariah on the left—and now, she’s gained admiration from Russian state television.

Greene’s attempts to block aid to Ukraine, her criticisms of NATO, and her beliefs that the United States should withdraw from the alliance have drawn plaudits from TV hosts in Russia, The Daily Beast reported Friday.

    Its so incredibly obvious that Putin supports everything that will weaken USA/EU/NATO-“The West” in the long run, economically, politically, you name it. Everything that will disassemble these systems, make them more vulnerable to corruption, reduces the trust people have in them. How the hell do these ultra-“patriotic” right wingers not see this while Putin is so clear and outspoken about it?

      Some of them put their hands over their eyes, some squint a lot, others though stare into the headlights of the oncoming train.

      To answer your rhetorical question, because they are selling our country for a pittance. Look at this abomination’s net worth before and after she is elected.

    Rather than trying to turn the US into Russia 2.0, maybe she should just move to Russia and live the dream.

    Give the fucking traitor, Greene, a one-way ticket to Muscoviteville and she can take the damn MAGATs with her.

    Haha, that was my guess even I saw the synopsis up there.

    I’ve been saying the repubs are a fifth column for many, many years - even before Dozo the Clown came along and brought terrorists like Marj along with him. Even before they started using Putin shirtless on a horse as avatars (unironically).

    And now it’s right out there in the open. The cons HATE this country. Many have been able to see this for decades; now there is no hiding it.

    On Russian TV they said that she is very heterosexual and wears fur coats. I have no idea wtf this is supposed to mean.
