Simonyan praised Greene during an appearance on the Russia-1 talk show, “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov.” Greene, Simonyan said, was treated unfairly by the American media.
“Who is Majorie Taylor Greene?” She is a “conspiracy theorist”. She has ‘extreme right views,'” Simonyan said, according to translations verified by Russian Media Monitor. “As soon as a person says something that shows that she is normal, the huge American media giant declares her conspiracy theorist and far-right person.”
Representatives for Greene did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI sent outside of normal business hours.

In addition to trying to delay a foreign aid bill for Ukraine, Greene also pushed for an amendment calling on lawmakers to enlist in Ukraine’s military if they voted for it. assistance program.

“Mike Johnson has still not shown Congress or the American people proof that Russia intends to invade the rest of Europe after ending its campaign in Ukraine,” Greene said in a statement. Message Monday.
Of course, Greene is not the only American politician praised by Russian media.

“Congressmen Gaetz and Boebert did not applaud. They remained seated and did not jump. One senses fatigue in Washington in the face of unlimited aid to Ukraine,” Davydov said of the two Republican Party politicians.

The Russians, on the other hand, managed to keep the war machine running and increase the size of their army despite suffering heavy losses during the invasion of Ukraine.
