Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene did not hold back when asked about the UK foreign minister who wants the US to send more aid to Ukraine — saying he can “kiss my ass.”
The Georgia Republican made clear the special relationship did not apply to David Cameron when asked by Sky News Wednesday about his call to “vote through funding for Ukraine.”
“I think he tried to compare us to Hitler also, and if that’s the kind of language he wants to use, I really have nothing to say to him,” she said of the ex-prime minister who is now the UK’s foreign minister.
Sky News’ James Matthews noted that Cameron merely compared her “to an appeaser of Hitler in not voting through funding for Ukraine.”
“I really don’t care what David Cameron has to say,” Greene shot back. “I think that’s rude name-calling and I don’t appreciate that type of language.
“And David Cameron really needs to worry about his own country, and frankly, he can kiss my ass.”

Still, Matthews persisted, asking Greene whether she believes that Russian President Vladimir “Putin’s the good guy in all this” — to which Greene responded by simply slamming the door in his face.
Greene and other House Republicans have been left scrambling to craft an Israel and Ukraine spending bill with US border security provisions after rejecting a Senate proposal to tackle those issues.
On Wednesday, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) teased that an alternative proposal is in the works and could be unveiled imminently.
“Stay tuned in the next 24 hours, I think you’ll see something that I think will be bipartisan,” he said, according to Politico.
Fitzpatrick, who is also a co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus, didn’t divulge too many specifics about the plan but suggested it may contain provisions that are “very similar” to the Senate package.
Under that bill, the US would fund American-made defense equipment, including munitions and air defense systems that authorities say are desperately needed as Russia batters the country.
It also includes $8 billion for the government in Kyiv and other assistance.
But it does not include provisions to crack down on lawless US border crossings
