Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said Wednesday that British Foreign Secretary David Cameron “can kiss my ass” for comparing opponents of Ukrainian aid to Adolf Hitler’s appeasement in the 1930s before World War II.
Cameron made the comparison in an op-ed for The Hill, implying that failing to pass a $95 billion foreign aid bill for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan would be analogous to the “weakness displayed against Hitler.”
Following a Republican filibuster, the Senate passed the legislation 70-29 early Tuesday morning, but its fate in the House remains uncertain.

“David Cameron needs to worry about his own country, and frankly, he can kiss my ass,” Greene told a Sky News reporter in a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“David Cameron should be concerned about the Nazis in Ukraine’s army, the Azov Battalion,” Greene posted on X. “We’re all sick of the absurd name calling, it isn’t going to bully me into funding the war in Ukraine.”
Other Republican lawmakers also blasted Cameron, a former British prime minister, for making the comparison, according to the Daily Mail.
“We’re not afraid to go do what we need to do around the world when it’s necessary, but continuing to fund and to continue endless conflict, which is what we’ve been doing for the better part of two decades in this country is not in our national security interest and I don’t believe it’s in the interest of the people of Ukraine,” Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas told the outlet.

Republican Rep. Mike Waltz of Florida, a former Green Beret, urged the British to pay “more attention to demanding that the rest of Europe contribute their fair share rather than demanding the United States sign a blank check.”
A spokesman for the British Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office declined to comment.
