It's Presidents Day, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) got a plan.
Instead of celebrating the birthdays of America's Founding Fathers, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the Georgia GOP firebrand is calling for a"national divorce," tweeting that red and blue states need to separate and go their own ways. She is also advocating shrinking the federal government.
“All possible in a National Divorce scenario,” Greene wrote on Twitter in December 2021. “After Democrat voters and big donors ruin a state like California, you would think it wise to stop them from doing it to another great state like Florida. Brainwashed people that move from CA and NY really need a cooling off period.”
During a joint news conference, Biden pledged America's"unwavering" support for the battered country and announced an additional $500 million in military aid, which didn't sit well with Greene and several Republicans. The money will go toward artillery ammunition, Javelin missiles, and howitzers. Biden did not comment on a specific ask by Ukraine for long-range weapons and fighter jets.
