Hardline America Firster and staunch Trump supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene voted alongside progressive Democrat Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar to strip Israel of $500m in US funding, hours after it bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza.

The House of Representatives, however, rejected in a 422-6 vote on Thursday, to cut funding for the Israeli Cooperative Program - an agreement through which the US provides Israel with $500m to boost its missile programmes.

It is a separate allocation from the $3.3bn the US sends Israel as “security assistance” every year.

      They literally spent 2 billion of OUR money SPECIFICALLY on immigrants, legal or otherwise. Nearly all of which were working, paying taxes, and contributing to the economy.

      MAGAt pedos would rather spend 2 billion destroying lives and families, than feeding, educating, and giving healthcare to Americans. The entire party is built on bad faith and treason.
