Give that man an ‘A’
U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Ooltewah, is the only member of the Tennessee congressional delegation to receive an “A” in a recently updated report card issued by Republicans for Ukraine.
The updated scores reflect recent action, including the most recent Ukraine aid package, the March government funding bill, which included $300 million for Ukraine, discharge petitions for Ukraine aid bills, and statements in support of Ukraine.
Fleischmann’s grade did not change since the organization’s last report card. Three Tennessee U.S. House members saw their grades fall, Mark Green (“D” from “B”), John Rose (“D” from “C”) and Scott DesJarlais (“D-” from “C-“). One House member’s grade improved, David Kustoff (“B” from “B-“), and three stayed the same, Tim Burchett, Diana Harshbarger and Andrew Ogles (all with an “F”). Next door in Georgia, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Rome, retained her “F.”
The organization states that “[b]y educating GOP voters and congressional leaders about the importance of continuing to support America’s ally, Republicans for Ukraine is mobilizing public opinion behind what was traditionally a bedrock conservative principle: strong American leadership in the world.”
