Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized Republican senators for supporting bipartisan immigration and funding legislation, calling them “traitors to our country.”
The bill, which includes funding for Ukraine and Israel, as well as border and asylum reforms, has faced opposition from House conservatives.
President Biden has shown openness to the measure, while former President Trump has opposed it.
“You call that a bipartisan deal? There’s only a handful of Republican senators over there. They are willing to be traitors to our country with the Democrats and allow 5,000 people to illegally invade our country [each day] before they think about shutting it down,” Greene said. “That’s not bipartisanship.”
Greene and Speaker Mike Johnson expressed strong disapproval, with Greene stating that those in favor should resign.
“Anyone that would be willing to vote for that should be ashamed of themselves and they should resign, because they’re not serving the American people,” Greene said.
“They’re not upholding our Constitution and our laws.”
Despite warnings, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell aims to push the legislation forward, hoping for strong GOP support to pressure the House for a vote.
