US marjorie taylor greene slapdowns Ukraine

Marjorie Taylor Greene said Ukraine had a big Nazi problem and this historian’s shutdown was simply magnificent

John Plunkett. Updated March 18th, 2025

Time now to return to the world of Marjorie Taylor Greene – wonder what the colour of the sky is over there? – and the Republican congresswoman’s thoughts on Ukraine and the Russian invasion.

But it’s not Vladimir Putin that the gun-loving, conspiracy-waving MTG is worried about – of course not! – it’s Nazis within Ukraine. Nazis who are busy recruiting Nazis from all over the world, apparently.

Unfortunately for her – and fortunately for everyone else – she spouted this in front of a real-life grown up person. Specifially, Dr Timothy Snyder, Professor of History and Global Affairs at Yale University and a permanent fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna.

Boom!

And just in case you want to enjoy Dr Snyder’s full bio (because it makes it even better).

‘Timothy Snyder is the Richard C. Levin Professor of History and Global Affairs at Yale University and a permanent fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna.

‘A scholar of history of Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust, Snyder speaks five and reads ten European languages, has written 16 books, including six on Ukraine, and co-edited two.

‘His work, published in forty languages, has inspired political demonstrations, sculpture, posters, punk rock, rap, film, theater, opera, and earned him six state orders and decorations from Austria, Estonia, Lithuania, and Poland, as well as four honorary doctorates.

‘Prizes and awards include the Emerson Prize in the Humanities, the Literature Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Václav Havel Foundation Prize, the Foundation for Polish Science Prize, Le Prix du livre d’Histoire de l’Europe, the Leipzig Award for European Understanding, the Dutch Auschwitz Committee Award, the Hannah Arendt Prize, the Pell Center Prize, the Transatlantic Bridge Award, the Silvers-Dudley Prize, the Madame de Staël Prize, Guggenheim and Carnegie fellowships, and the Marshall Scholarship at Oxford.’

Yeah, but have you seen Marjorie’s big gun cupboard?

And here are just a few of the many things people said about it.
