Majorie Taylor Greene has blasted Lord David Cameron for comparing Republicans to Nazi appeasers and told him to “kiss my a**”.
The Republican congresswoman slammed the Foreign Secretary after he wrote an article comparing the US’s efforts to curb Ukraine funding to “appeasing Hitler” in the 1930s.
In a recent op-ed for The Hill, Lord Cameron appealed to those in Congress – mainly conservatives – who are against continuing funding for Ukraine.
He wrote: “I do not want us to show the weakness displayed against Hitler in the 1930s. He came back for more, costing us far more lives to stop his aggression.”

In response to the home secretary’s comments, Greene said: “I really could care less what Lord Cameron has to say. I just don't care.
“He was calling us Hitler and calling us horrible names and that is extremely rude and he needs to stop making that association,” she told The Independent.
She said Lord Cameron needs to focus on issues within the UK, such as the newly announced recession.
Her comments represent a doubling-down of her earlier remark made yesterday, where she told him to worry about his own country's problems and to “kiss my a**”.

Posting later that day on social media, she said the remarks would not "bully me into funding the war in Ukraine”.
During a visit to Poland, the foreign secretary he does not want “to lecture American friends, or tell American friends what to do”, but he added, “we really do want to see Congress pass that money to support Ukraine economically, but crucially militarily in the months ahead.”
Speaking at a press conference, Lord Cameron said: “We have to do everything we can to make sure that Ukraine can succeed in this year and beyond.
“We must not let Putin think he can out-wait us or last us out, and that’s why this vote in Congress is so crucial.”

PAA $61bn (£49bn) aid package has passed through the Senate but is facing opposition in the House of Representatives, due to hard-line Republicans.
Donald Trump and his supporters have criticised the bill for its lack of funding to secure the US-Mexico border.
Speaking on Tuesday afternoon from the White House, Biden urged House Republicans to pass the legislation.
“Supporting this bill is standing up to Putin. Opposing it is playing into Putin's hands,” Biden said. “History is watching.”
