Marjorie Taylor Greene he was quickly decried by a fellow congressman Maxwell Frost for complaints about “Nazis inside Ukraine» in hearing.
On Wednesday (April 17) at a congressional hearing by the House Oversight Committee titled “Defending America from the Chinese Communist Party's Political War,” Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene decided to take her time to speak on another matter . “It's amazing to me that in just a few years, it's now considered disinformation to talk about Nazis in Ukraine,” Greene observed.
“According to Christopher Wray, the director of the FBI, he said this [the Azov Brigade] has been recruiting and radicalizing and training American citizens for years. He also concluded by saying in his testimony to the US Senate that American white supremacists travel abroad to be trained,” he added. “I don't think anyone in the United States government — Americans are supporting real Nazis or white supremacists,” Greene concluded. “I know I certainly don't.” Those words would not go unchallenged, and Florida Democratic Representative Maxwell Alejandro Frost made sure of that. “It's interesting to hear my colleague just now talking about disavowing white supremacists when in 2022 you — she spoke at an event organized by white supremacists and white nationalist Nick Fuentes,” Frost began. “And when asked about that, he underlined that and said we're going to focus on people, not labels. So get out of here with this damned hypocrisy,” he added.
Frost's words would be followed by similarly strong comments from his Florida colleague, Jared Moskowitz. “Stop bringing up Nazis and Hitlers. The only people who know about the Nazis and Hitler are the 10 million people and their families who lost loved ones — generations of people who were exterminated,” Moscovici said. began. “Enough of this disgusting behavior, using the Nazis as propaganda. Do you want to talk about Nazis? Go to the Holocaust Museum. Go see what the Nazis did. It's abhorrent that we use that, and we allow it, and we sit here like it's somehow normal,” he said.
Green's reference to “Nazis in Ukraine” relates to Russian President Vladimir Putin's repeated false claims he used to justify his nation's invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022. during Kanye West's political campaign.
