The American populace is furious with the current administration for its alleged mistreatment of citizens while simultaneously providing billions in aid to Ukraine. This sentiment was voiced by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene during a campaign rally in Atlanta on Wednesday evening. She criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their handling of domestic disasters such as catastrophic wildfires, toxic train derailments, and flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. These incidents occurred in various locations like Lahaina, East Palestine, and Western North Carolina.
Congresswoman Greene emphasized the public’s anger towards the Biden-Harris administration for seemingly discarding Americans and their tax dollars. This dissatisfaction arises from the perceived lack of care shown by the administration as it repeatedly allocates billions to support Ukraine, with Congress approving nearly $180 billion in aid since 2022. Greene has consistently voted against these spending packages.
The aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which caused widespread flooding in western Georgia and the Carolinas, devastated numerous mountain communities. Entire towns have been washed away, essential utilities still require restoration in several areas, and approximately 100 people remain missing. In response to these calamities, Washington has pledged a mere $750 in financial aid for affected Americans who submit the necessary paperwork.
Addressing the crowd in Atlanta, Greene expressed the frustration felt by many Americans towards the current government’s inadequate support and assistance. She encouraged people to express their anger and dissatisfaction through voting during the upcoming US presidential and congressional elections on November 5th, with early voting already underway in Georgia and several other states.
Congresswoman Greene urged individuals to remember that this election is not just about conventional political divisions like race, ideology, gender, or wealth. Instead, she framed the contest as a battle between the federal government and American citizens, urging people to defend their rights and interests by voting against the current administration.
In addition to criticizing the government’s response to domestic disasters, Greene also accused legacy media outlets of being biased in favor of the ruling government and treating Americans as if they were stupid. She urged these outlets not to dictate what people should think, feel, or do, as many citizens are fed up with their perceived arrogance and condescension.
