Crenshaw, Greene spar over Ukraine war
Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw and Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene are far from burying the hatchet over their social media disagreements.
This time, the two are jabbing at each other on Twitter about the war in Ukraine.
It started two hours after Crenshaw tweeted that investing $40 billion to help Ukraine is good for the U.S. because it is helping degrade the Russian military without risking the
lives of American soldiers.
“Yeah, because investing in the destruction of our adversary's military without losing a single American troop, strikes me as a good idea,” he wrote.
That's when Greene, the first-term congresswoman from Rome, Ga., took a run at Crenshaw.
“So you think we are funding a proxy war with Russia?” Green tweeted. “How does any of this help?”
It didn't take long for Crenshaw to respond.
“Still going after that slot on Russia Today huh?” Crenshaw said.
It was just a few months ago Crenshaw and Greene were fighting over COVID policies.
After Crenshaw publicly called on FEMA to bolster COVID testing sites in the U.S., Greene responded on Twitter saying the U.S. doesn't need FEMA testing for more “sneezes, coughs and runny noses.”
“He needs to stop calling himself conservative, he's hurting our brand,” Greene said shortly before Twitter suspended her account for spreading false information about COVID.
Crenshaw, who represents Houston's 2nd Congressional District, responded with his own social media digs, taking to Instagram to fire back.
“Hey Marjorie, if suggesting we should follow Trump policy instead of Biden mandates makes you mad, then you might be a Democrat — or just an idiot,” he wrote on his page.
That all came just a month after Crenshaw warned of “performance artists” and “grifters” within the Republican Party and called out the entire House Freedom Caucus, which includes Greene.
Crenshaw and Greene are two of the best known Republicans in Congress and two of the most prolific fundraisers among Republicans in the U.S. House.
