House conservatives rip resolution calling for bust to honor Zelensky in Capitol
The Hill ^ | 01-12-2023 | JULIA MUELLER

House conservatives on Thursday bashed a resolution that called for a bust of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to be installed in the U.S. Capitol to honor the Kyiv leader.

“Absolutely NOT! We serve AMERICA NOT UKRAINE!” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) wrote on Twitter, sharing a photo of the resolution introduced Monday by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.).

Wilson’s proposal would direct the House Fine Arts Board to obtain a bust of the Ukrainian president and then to find “suitable, permanent location” for the statue in the House side of the U.S. Capitol Complex.

“There is now a House resolution that seeks to put a display of Zelenskyy’s head in the US Capitol. Was the $100+ billion to Ukraine not enough?” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) wrote on Twitter.

Love to see MAGA reps jump on this guy for putting forth such a disgusting idea. Fight them on everything.

Put the bust in the men’s room for those who think they really need to have one.

South Carolina is corrupted by defense contractors.

The politicians from Henry McMaster and Lindsay Graham on down assume the position for the “Military Industrial Complex”.

House Fine Arts Board

Real conservatives would be calling for the defunding of the Fine Arts Board. The Capitol is plenty pretty. Give art a break until the national debt is paid. There’s nothing wrong with art, but there are other priorities at the moment.

As for Wilson, get a primary contender warmed up. Anyone that suggests a corrupt dictator should have a bust in the Capitol lacks all critical thinking and reasoning abilities. If he loves Ukraine so much, then he can go there and fight on the front lines against the Ruskies.

One of them tried to defend it on another thread, and pinged his friends who apparently don't have the balls to step forth.

Almost reminds me of thr Crevo Wars about 15 years ago.

The little con-man gets a bust.

But, remove all of those busts and statues to 18th and 19th century “ racists “, and “ white nationalists “.

It is just like the Jan 6, 2021 theater production - making history out of whole cloth. Zelinski is to be made into another Churchill and Jan 6th is a day they want you to believe will live in infamy, on par with Pearl Harbor.

Should put it right next to the bust of Stalin who also was a victim of foreign aggression and thereby an inscrupable hero who can do no wrong and is due both our money and adoration.
