Greene Parrots Russian Propaganda With Outlandish Ukraine Claims
Controversial Congresswoman Sparks Outrage With Dangerous Rhetoric
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In an astonishing display of ignorance and Russian propaganda, Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has claimed that Ukraine is "not a real country."
Greene, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, made this outlandish assertion during an interview on 60 Minutes, echoing a common talking point used by Russian state media to justify its invasion of Ukraine.
The claim that Ukraine is not a real country is historically inaccurate and disregards the sovereignty and self-determination of the Ukrainian people. Ukraine has been an independent state since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and is recognized by over 190 countries.
Greene's comments have sparked outrage among Democrats and Republicans alike, who have condemned her for spreading dangerous and false information. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has called Greene's remarks "unacceptable" and said he would consider disciplinary action.
Greene's statement is particularly alarming in light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where Russia has been accused of war crimes and human rights abuses.
