Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed outrage at a campaign rally in Atlanta, condemning the Biden administration for prioritising aid to Ukraine while neglecting American citizens affected by domestic disasters.
The Georgia Republican accused President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of treating Americans “worse than dirt” by failing to provide adequate support for domestic crises.
Greene highlighted recent disasters such as the wildfires in Lahaina, the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, and the flooding in Western North Carolina caused by Hurricane Helene.
She criticised the Biden/Harris administration for offering just $750 in financial aid to Americans affected by these catastrophes while continuing to send billions of dollars to Ukraine.
“There is unspeakable anger in this country,” Greene said. “Congress will write a $60 billion check for Ukraine over and over again, but treat Americans like they don’t matter.”
THIS is why the American people hate the government so much.
Americans can hardly get a measly $750 bucks after Hurricane Helene and this America LAST globalist is writing another check to Ukraine for $425 million.
This is now making Americans actually resent Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/Rn9sBRArbe

Since 2022, the U.S. has approved nearly $180 billion in aid to Ukraine, much of which Greene has opposed. She says many Americans are frustrated by the government’s priorities, saying, “People are fed up and disgusted with our government that treats Americans like nothing.”
Greene called on voters to channel their anger by voting against Democrats in the upcoming elections, describing the contest as a battle between the federal government and the American people.
“This election is not about race, gender, or class. It’s about the government versus you,” Greene told the crowd. She also criticised the legacy media outlets for their bias in favour of the current administration, urging voters to reject the mainstream narrative and assert their own opinions.
Early voting for the November 5 presidential and congressional elections has already begun in Georgia and several other states.
