Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she will vote against any new foreign aid due to the national debt, including support to Israel in its war against Hamas.
The opposition from the George Republican is a potential warning sign that other conservatives may balk at helping the U.S. ally as lawmakers race to craft legislation and pass related bills as early as this week.
“I will be voting NO on all funding packages for the Ukraine war and now the Israel war,” Ms. Greene posted on the social media site X. “We have had over 10 MILLION people illegally cross our border since Biden took office and we are over $33 TRILLION dollars in debt with many major problems afflicting Americans.”
President Biden has requested a supplemental spending package costing more than $100 billion for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and humanitarian assistance for people who have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. But even as Senate GOP leaders also push for a similar broad aid package, conservatives say they will not vote for foreign-policy funding unless it is in standalone bills.
“The United States government needs to focus on spending American’s hard earned tax dollars on our own country and needs to serve the American people NOT the rest of the world,” Ms. Greene posted.
