'Disgusting': GOP lawmakers outraged as Democrats wave Ukrainian flags on House floor

I am laughing my head off at MTG, Nehls and other GOP assholes who are mad that the Democrats were waiving Ukrainian flags after the vote today on aid to combat Putin. Putin's followers are very unhappy.



https://www.rawstory.com/disgusting-gop-outrage-ukraine-flags/

Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are among the Republican lawmakers who are "outraged" on Saturday after Democrats appeared to taunt Greene with Ukrainian flags on the House floor.

The House voted over the weekend to approve a bipartisan foreign aid bill, enraging Greene, who has steadfastly opposed sending help to Ukraine. Raw Story reported that, after the vote, she unloaded on reporters in a swear-filled rant.

One of the things that "outraged" her, according to a report from MSNBC, is the waving of the Ukrainian flags.....

Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-TX) said, "House Democrats are waiving Ukraine flags on the House floor as members of Congress vote to send nearly $61 billion more to Ukraine. Disgusting."

Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) also had a problem with the flag waving.

"Democrats chanted 'Ukraine' while waving Ukrainian flags on the Floor of the UNITED STATES House of Representatives. The Uniparty approved $60.8 billion more for Ukraine while the US quickly approaches $35 trillion in debt. The DC Cartel cares more about Ukraine than you," he said.

This from the repulsive lowlife that showed Hunter Biden's dick-pix on the House floor? She should be expelled from the House with extreme prejudice. She is a fucking traitor.

when we had National Guard shooting students, violence in the street, etc. But I don't think I've ever seen such a powderkeg as America is right now. Of course, this is what the Magats want SO bad. They're dying to get their civil war on. Problem is, WE have had it up to -here- with their lies, disinformation, and violence. I don't see us, pacifists that they think we are, backing down from them any longer. Yes, we abide by laws where applicable, and we don't go out looking for trouble. But I think the days of us "turning the other cheek" are long gone; there's too much at stake. This is really gonna come as a surprise to Meal Team Six.

America... love it or leave it. Obviously, they don't love it. So, we've got to convince them to leave it. Go someplace more to their liking... like Iran or Afghanistan. They'll feel so much more at home there!

The Uniparty? You mean some Republicans and some Democrats debate and draw up a law they both believe is fair and toss it out to their house colleagues and a majority of them from both sides say yes we can agree that's a fair law?

If only a group of very passionate people could come up with a form of government where the differences of people could sincerely freely and peacefully be debated until they come to an agreement that some may not like but the majority agree on the solution because it will benefit all equally.

Damn those gentle Spring breezes.

make up of voters that "got" them elected and "not see" that a large percentage have friends, relatives, come-from that Ukrainian country and area.

So many angry voters in their Districts that they all supposely "represent"
