NASHVILLE – U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, was among 20 House Republicans who voted this week against a bill reauthorizing anti-human trafficking programs, including continued funding aimed at stemming child trafficking in the U.S. and abroad.
Tuesday’s no vote by the Rome congresswoman, who last April charged Democrats “are the party of pedophiles,” came a day after Greene castigated congressional Democrats for what she said was their failure to fight human trafficking on the U.S. border with Mexico, including the trafficking of children.

“All while Dems send $54+ billion to defend Ukraine’s border and NOT our own,” Greene added.
