“Yet again, America is being put last. That’s the underlying theme of every decision made these days. It’s always about putting America Last,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) declared in a fiery critique of the House’s priorities, particularly concerning the Ukraine aid bill.
She went on to propose a bold amendment that would drastically alter the current course.

“My amendment today would… take each dollar amount in this act is hereby reduced to zero. You see, the United States taxpayer has already sent 113 billion dollars to Ukraine, and a lot of that money is unaccounted for,” she continued.
Greene then BLASTED the current state of affairs, calling it a continuation of a ‘sick business model’ where the federal government funds the military industrial complex, perpetuating foreign wars without securing our own borders or reducing our national debt.
“And this is a business model the American people do not support. They don’t support a business model built on blood and murder and war in foreign countries. While this very government does nothing to secure our border.”
“The American people are over $34 trillion in debt. And the debt is rising by over $40 billion every single night while we all sleep. But yet nothing is done to secure our border or reduce our debt.”
Love her or hate her, she is 100% correct. Our government is not protecting the citizens of this country. It is owned, corrupt, arrogant and full of hate and division. Our government treats its own people like the enemy.#AmericaFirst #StopArmingIsrael #NoMoreWars…

She also highlighted the economic hardship faced by everyday Americans due to out-of-control inflation and skyrocketing costs of living, with young adults doubting their ability to own homes in their lifetime.
“The youngest generation, young adults don’t even think they’re going to be able to buy a home in their lifetime. And today in Congress, the most important thing that this body thinks should be done is to send another 61 billion dollars to a war in Ukraine that the American people by 70% do NOT support.”
Greene condemned Congress for prioritizing foreign aid over domestic issues such as reducing spending, driving down inflation, and securing our borders against daily invasions from illegal immigrants from over 160 different countries.
“And yet you have members of this body talking big and tough about, ‘oh, we have to defeat Russia. Oh, we have to protect Ukraine.’ But yet all of you are unwilling to protect the American citizens that pay your paycheck, pay the light bills in this building, and pay for this entire federal government.”
She further criticized the government for its continued support of Ukraine, a non-NATO member, at the expense of American taxpayers and the lives of Ukrainian men.
“For what? For nothing. Ukraine is not even a member of NATO. Ukraine is not a member of NATO. But the most important thing you hear in Washington DC is, ‘oh, we have to spend Americans hard-earned tax dollars over to Ukraine and keep the money going to continue to murder Ukrainians, wipe out an entire generation of Ukrainian men, so that there are widows, there are fatherless orphans, there are not enough men to work in their industries. Oh, but you really support Ukraine? Wow. What kind of support is that? It’s repulsive.”
Greene called for a change in business model – one that prioritizes American interests and national security over foreign wars and interventions.
“We should have a business model that builds up our American companies and American jobs to serve American interest. And our military and our government should care about protecting the national security of the United States of America and the Americans that pay their hard earned tax dollars to fund all of this.”
“America Last. America Last. That’s all this is. Every single day, America Last.”
