Marjorie Taylor Greene labeled 'dumb' as Democrat shuts down her call to 'defund NATO'

WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz attacked Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene's proposal to 'defund NATO' on Tuesday, June 4, labeling it 'unpatriotic' and claiming Greene's bill would put American soldiers serving abroad in jeopardy, stated Mediaite.

Echoing rhetoric from former President Donald Trump, Greene said, "My amendment strikes funding for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO Security Investment Program. My amendment would strike over $433 million in NATO funding from the bill. America should not be doling out hundreds of millions of dollars to international organizations to help them fight their enemies, especially when they are unwilling to fight for themselves."

Democrat shuts Greene down for calling to ‘Defund NATO’

Greene said as she wrapped up her speech, "But yet, America is beyond our pledge. We are spending in 2023, 3.5% of our GDP. But yet we don’t do anything to defend our own country and our own borders."

She added, "This is why Americans would love to see Congress take action, action to defund NATO, and stop spending hundreds of millions of their hard-earned money to foreign countries to defend these foreign countries, while we don’t defend our own country and our own people. Madam."

After Greene, Wasserman Schultz spoke and retaliated forcefully, "I think the sponsor of the amendment has shown pretty clear evidence that she has no idea what the NATO Security Investment Program is actually funding."

She added, "We’re talking about funding that is provided to build infrastructure that takes care of our troops that are overseas. So that we can make sure that we invest properly in infrastructure for a vast array of training facilities, of national security facilities, of hangars that contain our airplanes, military aircraft that cost billions of dollars."

She further said, "So everything about what the amendment does actually makes our own service members who are fighting overseas to defend our national security interests and to defend our country less safe."

Notably, Green's proposal was eventually rejected, even though 46 Republicans supported it.
