Moskowitz trolls Greene with foreign aid amendments

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Florida) trolled Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) with a pair of amendments that highlight the Georgia Republican’s frequent embrace of pro-Russian disinformation and his opposition to foreign aid.

The First Amendment requires that Greene be named “Vladimir Putin’s Special Envoy to the United States Congress.”

The amendment says that Greene “repeatedly attempted to block aid to Ukraine, furthering Vladimir Putin’s illegal violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity,” and that she “republished information from the Strategic Culture Foundation, a Russia-based disinformation and propaganda outlet that has been sanctioned by [the Office of Foreign Assets Control].”

The second amendment renames Greene’s office in the Cannon House Office Building the “Neville Chamberlain Room” — a reference to the World War II-era British prime minister who pursued a failed policy of appeasement toward Nazi Germany in hopes of avoiding a bigger war. .

In an interview on “CNN News Central” on Thursday, Moskowitz announced the first change naming Greene as Putin’s envoy and said: “That way… we can just make it official, frankly.”

Greene also introduced a series of amendments to Ukraine’s supplemental bill, including one that says any member who votes in favor of the bill “will be required to conscript into Ukrainian military service.”

Other amendments Greene similarly introduced embraced false claims often championed by Putin and pro-Russian media outlets. She introduced amendments prohibiting funding until Ukraine “holds free and fair elections,” “stops persecuting Christians,” “closes all biolaboratories,” “bans abortion,” and “turns over all information related to Hunter Biden and Burisma”, among others.

Greene also introduced an amendment that directs the president to withdraw the US from NATO and prohibits funding for NATO troops in Ukraine.

Moskowitz, at a hearing Wednesday, chided Greene for her line of questioning, which included false claims that Nazism was rampant in Ukraine — an argument often made by Putin to justify his country’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Stop mentioning Nazis and Hitler. The only people who know about the Nazis and Hitler are the 10 million people and their families who lost their loved ones – generations of people who were wiped out,” Moskowitz said.

“Enough of this disgusting behavior, of using Nazis as propaganda… Do you want to talk about Nazis? Go to the Holocaust Museum. Go see what the Nazis did.”
