Hardline America Firster and staunch Trump supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene voted alongside progressive Democrat Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar to strip Israel of $500m in US funding, hours after it bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza.
The House of Representatives, however, rejected in a 422-6 vote on Thursday, to cut funding for the Israeli Cooperative Program - an agreement through which the US provides Israel with $500m to boost its missile programmes.
It is a separate allocation from the $3.3bn the US sends Israel as “security assistance” every year.
if that was the case she wouldn’t have voted to continue paying for it.
whenever shit like this happens, we get a glimpse of what people like her actually stand for, beyond her progressive-sounding discourse. there’s nothing redeeming about it.
True. I misread. Her statements for why she voted to continue were quite weak and illuminating.
