Buck takes swing at 'Moscow Marjorie': She is just 'mouthing the Russian propaganda'

Source: The Hill

04/20/24 8:07 AM ET


Former Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) went after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for her anti-Ukraine position in an interview on CNN Friday.

“Moscow Marjorie has reached a new low,” Buck said in an interview on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” with anchor Erica Hill. “You know, during the Russian Revolution, [Bolshevik Revolution leader Vladimir] Lenin talked about American journalists who were writing glowing reports about Russia at the time as ‘useful idiots.’”

“And I don’t even think that Marjorie reaches that level of being a useful idiot here,” Buck continued. “She is just mouthing the Russian propaganda, and really hurting American foreign policy in the process.”

During a House Oversight Committee meeting Wednesday, Greene noted news stories and displayed photos she said showed neo-Nazis in Ukraine. She brought up her concern over how it is seen as misinformation to discuss “the Nazis in Ukraine and their recruitment efforts that go all around the world.”

Either she is getting paid, help being installed into office, or trying to curry favor with Trump.

which have been infested with Russian propaganda. She will never trust mainstream media, because Democrats watch it and agree with it. It's tied into her religion, which extols tenacity in the face of adversity….on questions of faith. But this should not be one of them.

Stubborn and ignorant is no way to go through life.

9. False Connections

MAGA Republicans like to make connections that do not exist:

Fictional space lacers and wildfires in California.

But they do not make the connection between Russia supports Iran and Iran supports Hamas.
