Greene Slams Trump's Foreign Meetings, But Not Foreign Lobbying Dollars
Greene, a vocal opponent of what she perceives as 'foreign entanglements,' publicly questioned why Trump was meeting with Hungarian PM Viktor Orban and UK's Nigel Farage. Her concern, as reported by The Hill , was that America should simply focus on itself. A noble sentiment, perhaps, if one ignores the glaring hypocrisy. For instance, Greene herself has taken north of $100,000 from pro-Israel
groups , including donations from individuals associated with AIPAC, since her election. This influx of foreign-aligned lobbying money, unlike Trump's photo ops, directly influences legislation she votes on. One might wonder: is it only face-to-face meetings with foreign leaders that compromise American sovereignty, or do the hundreds of millions funneled into US elections by foreign lobbying
groups like AIPAC, pushing for policies often at odds with American interests, also count? It appears 'America First' has a very convenient blind spot when it comes to campaign contributions that align with certain geopolitical agendas. Some foreign entanglements, it seems, are more equal than others.
