Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to shame house members who support funding the Ukraine war may inadvertently send more U.S. dollars overseas.
On Wednesday, Rep. Greene, who is advocating for the removal of House Speaker Mike Johnson, wore a 'MUGA' (Make Ukraine Great Again) hat-a reference to the MAGA slogan often associated with former President Donald Trump-while standing beside a poster of Speaker Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and condemning "forever wars."
Greene's 'MUGA' moment appears to have influenced MeidasTouch, a liberal anti-Trump organization to sell their own version, taking $45 pre-orders for the limited-edition hat.
The Unite with Ukraine campaign, which the Ukrainian World Congress runs, will purportedly use the proceeds from the 'MUGA' hats to fund the war effort.
The group slammed Greene but cheekily thanked her for her support. "
Greene has sought Speaker Johnson's removal since the successful passage of a foreign aid package last month, which included $61 billion in aid for Ukraine. Greene and some republicans had vehemently opposed it, and criticized Johnson as a "uniparty" member for his cooperation with Democcrats to get the foriegn aid package passed.
