NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene shared that the foreign aid legislation passed on Saturday, April 20, earmarked $4 billion to be used for funding NGOs helping with migration and assisting refugees from Ukraine and Israel, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, April 21.

The US Representative for Georgia has long opposed migration into the country and has spoken out against the border 'invasion' on multiple occasions. She has also been an outspoken critic of House Speaker Mike Johnson for passing legislation without addressing the issue and filed a motion for his removal back in February.

Johnson was blamed by Greene in her post for failing to negotiate on the border crisis and passing the Ukraine and Israel aid bills that allocate funds for further migration.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's tweet

Taking to the social media platform, Greene retweeted a post that stated, "Congress just used the Ukraine and Israel bills to allocate another $4 billion for 'migration and refugee assistance', which is used by NGOs for the border invasion and migrant freebies. $481 million in the Ukraine bill. $3.5 billion in the Israel bill. Incredible."

The tweet also had screengrabs of the bills.

"Right. Speaker Johnson negotiated nothing to secure our border, he funded $4 billion to NGOs to help invade our border all in the name of Israel and Ukraine," Greene wrote in her post.

"Only weeks after fully funding Biden’s deadly open border policies in the omnibus. Johnson = Jeffries," she added, drawing a comparison between the Speaker from the GOP and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.



 

Internet reacts to Marjorie Taylor Greene's tweet

Marjorie Taylor Greene's tweet, however, received criticism online, as the following tweets demonstrate.

"Funny you keep saying Speaker Johnson, when the bill that was passed was bi-partisan. So that means #TheMAGAStupidians members of Congress are in the minority," wrote a user responding to Greene's post.



 

"You rejected the bipartisan border security bill out of hand. You own this issue now," stated another.



 

"Jeffries would actually bring up the Bipartisan Border Bill Republicans wrote for a vote. So you've still got that complaining all while doing absolutely nothing going for you," commented a third.



 

"Awww someone is mad they keep losing! Marge, as a MAGA you should be used to it by now!!" jibed a fourth user.



 

"Do something instead of complaining on here," chided a fifth.
