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.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) also addressed the flags, saying there’s only one flag that should be waved on the House floor. The implication, of course, is it is the American flag.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) also spoke out during the vote, saying, “Put those damn flags away,” according to reports.
Rand Paul (R-KY) also had an issue with the Democratic demonstration.
“Ukrainian flags fly in the chamber of the UNITED STATES House of Representatives as they vote to send more of your hard-earned money to a corrupt foreign regime. And just like that they shout ‘0UKRAINE! UKRAINE!’ while happily working to secure Ukraine’s borders, not ours,” Paul wrote on Saturday.
