Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has taken to social media to voice strong criticism of leadership, posting claims about protests and calling for dramatic political action. The Georgia congresswoman shared a video on her social media account that showed crowds of people in what appeared to be a major demonstration. The post came as thousands of protesters gathered in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities on July 22-23, 2025. These demonstrations marked the first major anti-government protests in Ukraine since Russia began its full-scale invasion over three years ago. However, Greene’s interpretation of these events differed significantly from what reporters on the ground observed. “Good for the Ukrainian people! Throw him out of office!” Greene wrote in her social media post about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. She also called for America to stop funding and sending weapons to Ukraine. The post received over 3.9 million views and thousands of interactions from her followers. What the protests were really about Huge protests erupt in Kyiv against Ukrainian President Zelensky as he is a dictator and refuses to make a peace deal and end the war.Good for the Ukrainian people! Throw him out of office!And America must STOP funding and sending weapons!!! pic.twitter.com/WMJuMB7PlA— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) July 22, 2025 The demonstrations in Ukraine were focused on a specific piece of legislation that protesters viewed as harmful to their country’s democratic institutions. President Zelensky had signed a controversial bill that brought two key anti-corruption bodies under direct government control. These agencies, known as NABU and SAPO, were originally set up after Ukraine’s 2014 revolution to fight corruption and help the country move closer to European Union membership. Protesters were concerned that this new law would destroy the independence of these anti-corruption organizations. The European Commission warned that the move could hurt Ukraine’s chances of joining the EU. Transparency International’s Ukraine branch called it a “massive setback in anti-corruption reform” and a “direct threat to Ukraine’s path to the EU.” Ukrainian activists and opposition leaders said the law would allow the prosecutor general, who is appointed by the president, to shut down investigations involving the president’s allies. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko joined the protesters and said the measure was “dragging Ukraine faster and faster into authoritarianism.” Greene’s claims contradict on-ground reporting Fact-checkers and journalists who were present at the protests said Greene’s claims were false. The Kyiv Independent reported that their reporters at the protests “saw no evidence that protesters were upset” about peace talks with Russia, as Greene had suggested. Instead, the demonstrations were specifically about concerns over democratic backsliding and corruption reform. Greene had claimed that the protests were because Zelensky “is a dictator and refuses to make a peace deal and end the war.” She also made additional claims about elections and media control in Ukraine. However, these characterizations did not match what was actually happening on the ground during the protests. The congresswoman’s post fit into her broader pattern of controversial political stances, opposing American aid to Ukraine. She has consistently called for ending military and financial support to the country since Russia’s invasion began. In recent House speeches, she has argued that American taxpayers should not be forced to continue funding Ukraine’s defense efforts.
