Greene criticizes Zelensky at CPAC: ‘Leave your hands off of our sons and daughters’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) targeted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during her speech to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), saying he should leave his “hands off of our sons and daughters” over the Russian invasion in Ukraine.

Greene has been an outspoken critic of U.S. support for Ukraine, which has been supported by a majority of Democrats and Republicans.

Her remarks appeared to reference comments Zelensky made late last month in which he said that if Ukraine lost its war with Russia, it could lead Moscow to invade other former Soviet states that are now members of NATO — such as the Baltic countries. Ukraine is not a NATO member.

Zelensky said such a situation — Russian invading a NATO member — would lead the U.S. to send forces to those countries.

Greene on Friday told the CPAC crowd that she was still “committed to saying no money to Ukraine, and that country needs to find peace, not war.”

“And while I will look at a camera and directly tell Zelensky, you’d better leave your hands off of our sons and daughters because they’re not dying over there,” she continued.

There are no U.S. troops in Ukraine, and the White House is opposed to sending U.S. troops to Ukraine, as are most members of both political parties.
