Why is a president who pledged to place “America first” handing a $40 billion bailout to Argentina whereas quadrupling Argentine beef imports to undercut the worth of beef produced by U.S. ranchers on the similar time his tariffs have destroyed U.S. soybean gross sales to China, thereby enabling Argentine soybean farmers to promote to China as a substitute?
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has completely no clue.
The Georgia Republican continued her shocking tour of pushback towards Republican nonsense with an look on The Tucker Carlson Present Wednesday, the place she known as the bailout “one of the grossest things I’ve ever seen.”
“I have no idea who is telling our great president, our ‘America first’ president, that this is a good idea,” she stated. “Because, honestly, it’s a punch in the gut to all of our American cattle ranchers, and they are furious and rightfully so.”
“I can’t think of a country that’s further away from the United States of America than Argentina,” she continued. “It’s literally at the bottom of South America in the Southern Hemisphere, and we’re all the way at the top. I don’t know how that’s ‘America first.’”
(Trump contended in a social media submit that American cattle ranchers ought to, in actual fact, be grateful: “If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years — Terrible!” he wrote.)
Greene made the feedback on the tail finish of an extended screed towards Republicans in Washington, D.C., who she stated have “hijacked” Trump’s motion and are “turning it into everything that we hate.”
The 2 targeted specifically on America’s weird embrace of overseas entanglements below Trump, with Greene questioning aloud on the extent of U.S. navy motion within the Center East.
“Fox News and everyone tells me that Houthis are the most dangerous people on the planet and I literally can’t find a Houthi in my district,” she joked.

“When we bombed Iran on behalf of Israel, it was pretty interesting to me that hell was not unleashed like we were told it was going to be,” she remarked, questioning the oft-employed Israeli warning that Iran is at all times weeks away from producing a nuclear weapon.
“I didn’t see hell be unleashed on Israel. We didn’t see a single bomb fall on our heads, on our neighborhoods, on our homes. We didn’t see anything happen here like has happened to Gaza now for months and months and months. We didn’t see children and toddlers being blown to pieces. We didn’t hear about these horror stories … but this is a lie that we’re constantly told over and over and over again, that we have to hate these people in the Middle East, that we have to hate these foreign countries.”
“Why are we considered hateful and antisemitic if we don’t want to pay for Israel’s wars constantly?” she requested. “That doesn’t make us antisemitic and hateful. We want our money to stay here at home.”
(Regardless of her declare, it’s necessary to notice the congresswoman has actually fueled antisemitic tropes up to now, nonetheless, together with infamously suggesting in 2018 {that a} outstanding Jewish household began a wildfire in California through lasers beamed from house.)
“People are hurting here at home. Food prices are high, rent is high, home prices are ridiculously high, cars are high, auto insurance, home insurance, health insurance is insane, energy prices are high … much more expensive than they were even a year ago.”
Along with the above, Greene repeated her name for Home Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to name Congress again to order ― and cease avoiding her colleagues’ efforts to power the Justice Division to launch the Jeffrey Epstein information.
