Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene was told to “stop repeating Putin’s propaganda” after she contested a $40bn (£32.4bn) aid package for Ukraine on Tuesday, claiming that the Biden administration was using this to cover up its crimes.
The bill would provide Ukraine military and economic assistance, replenish weapons the Pentagon has shipped overseas and provide $5bn to address global food shortages.
As members of the US House of Representatives began debating the aid package, Ms Greene said: “$40bn dollars but there’s no baby formula for American mothers and babies.”

..."Responding to Greene's unfounded claims, Raskin said: "Here's a formula for the destruction of democracy: repeating Putin's propaganda and disinformation and appeasing imperialist assaults on sovereign nations."
The bill ended up being emphatically approved, passing by a 368-57 margin.
The measure was backed by every voting Democrat and by nearly three out of four Republicans. It will now need to be passed by the Senate before Biden can sign it into law.
Senate approval of Ukrainian aid seems certain, and members of both parties have echoed the need for quick action.
"As Putin desperately accelerates his campaign of horror and brutality in Ukraine, time is of the essence," said House speaker Nancy Pelosi."...
