Am I missing something? She voted against the defense appropriations bill. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025212
Roll Call 212 Roll Call 212, Bill Number: H. R. 4016, 119th Congress, 1st Session

VOTE QUESTION: On Passage, DESCRIPTION: Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026, VOTE TYPE: Yea-And-Nay, STATUS: Passed

Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives

She voted against the amendement to exclude $500million in Israeli weapons from the bill. Which is what she is defending in the Tweet the human rights lawyer is responding to.

She voted against the final bill, which includes funding for Israel. So she did not vote to send more weapons to Israel. You are posting false information.
She did. The evidence is right in front of your face. DNC lies are getting more blatant by the minute.

Read the text of the bill yourself if you don’t believe me.

This is about the amendement to that bill by MTG.

What is your point? She voted against the final bill.
Irrelevant. In her clarification she says she supports sending the weapons to Israel.

You are such a fucking liar. Her full tweet:

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it.

What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue.

I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end. That is a simple and clear difference of opinion that has long been established.

I remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza.

Cutting the flow by sending weapons to Israel?

I hope you are not stupid enough to believe this contradiction makes any sense. This is like Trump saying this his Medicare cuts won’t cut medicare.

She voted against sending weapons and then stated her opposition to sending weapons and the reason why. What are you not getting???
I recommend you inform yourself on what you are commenting on. And what the human rights lawyer is saying.
I recommend you stop lying. This kind of bullshit is why leftists aren’t taken seriously. Half of you lie and fabricate as much as any trumper.
I commend you on not identifying as a Leftist and being honest about your agenda.
“My agenda” AKA telling the truth. Yes my evil nefarious agenda.
The one where you have to keep lying about what AOC says to defend her supporting a genocide yes.
