'Disinformation': Greene pushes pro-Putin propaganda in 'war on Christianity' rant 'Disinformation'
After two top Republican House committee chairmen said Russian propaganda has made its way into Congress and “infected” some in the GOP base, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) spread demonstrably false pro-Russia talking points about a “war on Christianity” while defending and promoting President Vladimir Putin.
“It is absolutely true we see, directly coming from Russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner told CNN on Sunday, as NBC News reported. Republican House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, NBC added, “told Puck News that he thinks ‘Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base.”
On Monday, Congresswoman Greene, who strongly opposes any U.S. funds for military aid to Ukraine and has threatened to oust Mike Johnson as Speaker if he moves to assist Ukraine, once again praised Putin.
“Let’s talk about what this really is,” Greene said to far-right MAGA messenger Steve Bannon, the former Trump campaign CEO and White House advisor. “This is a war on Christianity. The Ukrainian government is attacking Christians, the Ukrainian government is executing priests. Russia is not doing that,” Greene falsely declared.

yet her dreamboat Vladimir Putin and his government severely restricts Evangelical missionary work in the Russian Federation,
I wonder if Greene and her supporters have noticed that?
I doubt it.
Putin might not not made the Russian Orthodox Church the official state religion, but it certainly has a favored place in Russia’s religious sphere.
And many of the rest of us, if not Greene and her friends, have noted that Evangelicals have been caught many times saying that the Catholic Church and other liturgical churches “aren’t really Christian”. (I kid you not. I do not have a special dispensation from God Almighty or anyone else to lie through my teeth).
And somehow the Russian Orthodox Church has somehow become Evangelical approved? This must come as a revelation to many Protestants living in the Russian Federation.
Russia’s crimes against Christians in the Soviet era are well-known. Putin’s actions against Christians and other believers should not be swept under the MAGA rug.
