Rep. Jared Moskowitz offered two amendments to the Ukraine aid bill mocking Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s opposition to helping the war effort against Russia.
Mr. Moskowitz, Florida Democrat, put up an amendment that said Ms. Greene “should be appointed as Vladimir Putin’s special envoy to the United States Congress.”
It said that Ms. Greene, a Georgia Republican who is staunchly opposed to sending more U.S. aid to Ukraine, has “repeatedly attempted to block aid to Ukraine, empowering Vladimir Putin’s unlawful violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
It also said she “has reposted information from the Strategic Culture Foundation, a Russian-based disinformation and propaganda channel that has been sanctioned by [the Office of Foreign Assets Control].”
The other amendment would rename Ms. Greene’s office in the Cannon House Office Building as the “Neville Chamberlain Room” in a nod to the former U.K. Prime Minister whose policy of appeasing Nazi Germany failed to avoid World War II.
Ms. Greene has added her share of amendments to the bill — 24 in total. One would require all members of Congress who support the aid bill to “conscript in the Ukrainian Military.”
Others would prohibit aid until Ukraine “holds free and fair elections, “stops persecuting Christians,” “closes all bio-laboratories, “bans abortion,” “until Ukraine turns over all information related to Hunter Biden and Burisma.”
Some call for directing President Biden “to withdraw the U.S. from NATO” or say that “funds made available by this Act shall be offset by the salaries of Members who vote in favor of it.”
Mr. Moskowitz has also slammed Ms. Greene for her comments about Nazis running around Ukraine, an idea that comes from Mr. Putin.
“Stop bringing up Nazis and Hitler,” he said at a Wednesday hearing. “The only people who know about Nazis and Hitler are the 10 million people and their families who lost their loved ones — generations of people who were wiped out.”
He told her to visit the Holocaust Museum to “see what Nazis did” and chastised her for using “Nazis as propaganda.”
