Moscow Marjorie: Greene's 'Kremlin talking points' earn her a new nickname from former House Republican

Former House Republican Ken Buck of Colorado is calling out U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for “getting her talking points from the Kremlin” and calling her “Moscow Marjorie.”

Discussing the House’s need to pass legislation to help Ukraine fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s illegal war, Buck declared Congresswoman Greene is “on the wrong side of history.” Greene staunchly opposes any support for Ukraine, and has threatened to move to oust Speaker Johnson if he passes aid to support the embattled sovereign nation.

“We know that Russia is propagating these false statements, narratives, about what’s going on in Ukraine,” Buck, who retired from Congress last month, told CNN’s Erin Burnett Monday night (video below). “We know that she is getting her talking points from Russia. And we know that they’re false and Mike Johnson is doing the responsible thing by trying to make sure we get a vote on Ukraine funding, make sure that the Ukrainian people can fight for their freedom.”

Buck said Greene is “continuing down this false path” and he doesn’t “think many Republicans are going to support her.”
