‘KISS MY A**’: Marjorie Taylor Greene Scorches Former British PM After Recent Comments
U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) delivered a blistering retort to former British Prime Minister David Cameron’s recent criticisms, employing the unequivocal rejoinder, “kiss my *ss.”
This came in response to Cameron’s remarks urging U.S. lawmakers to approve funding for Ukraine, alongside a controversial comparison of those opposed to the funding to appeasers of Hitler, implicitly aligning Greene’s stance with such historical figures.
“I think that I really don’t care what David Cameron has to say. I think that’s rude name-calling and I don’t appreciate that type of language,” Greene said. “And David Cameron needs to worry about his own country and frankly he can kiss my *ss.”

“This is personal for me. My grandfather stormed the beaches of Normandy under covering fire from U.S. warships,” former Prime Minister David Cameron wrote in an opinion piece on Wednesday.
“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.”
“And as prime minister, I ordered the U.K. military to join the U.S. in driving the Islamic State death cult out of Syria and Iraq. These were terrorists who had beheaded our citizens — British and American — in the desert. Together, we ensured they could never carry out such awful acts again.”
Cameron continued:
As foreign secretary, I am once again privileged to see how closely Britain, the U.S. and our allies work together in standing up for our freedom. We joined you in backing Israel after the horrors of Oct. 7. We joined you in strikes against Houthi militias seeking to disrupt freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. And we have joined together over the last two years to stand up for freedom in Ukraine…
We have proved that the dangers of escalation are illusory. Britain was the first to provide everything from anti-tank weapons to artillery to tanks and now long-range fires like Storm Shadow missiles. Each time Putin has rattled his saber about escalation — and each time it has been empty rhetoric.
So let us do it.
It goes to the heart of what both sides of the aisle stand for. What both our countries stand for. We fight aggression. We stand up for freedom. We stick by our friends. We show this dangerous, uncertain world that we are unbending in our will. And we win.
Greene and other House Republicans have been working to develop a spending bill focused on Israel and Ukraine, which also includes provisions for US border security, following their rejection of a Senate proposal addressing these matters.
On Wednesday Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) told journalists that the proposed plan might be disclosed as soon as Thursday — and he will update Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) about its details before it goes public. He mentioned collaboration with “a handful” of colleagues across both the Senate and House from both parties, yet he chose not to disclose any names or specifics of the proposal.
“Stay tuned in the next 24 hours, I think you’ll see something that I think will be bipartisan,” he said, also noting he was uncertain if it would emerge as a formal proposal from the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus. He co-leads the caucus alongside Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ).
