Former GOP Rep. Ken Buck Just Gave MTG A Brutally Fitting New Nickname

Buck, who resigned from Congress in March, called out the MAGA Rep. on CNN for peddling conspiracy theories after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called her a 'very serious legislator.'

Former Colorado Republican Representative Ken Buck didn't hold back on Monday as he criticized his former colleague, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, dubbing her "Moscow Marjorie."

Buck, who resigned from Congress last month, issued his remarks in response to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy's praise of Greene as a "very serious legislator" after she threatened to initiate a vote to remove Speaker Mike Johnson over Ukraine aid.


However, Buck disagreed with McCarthy's assessment, offering a less flattering portrayal of Greene's approach to governance during an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett:

“My experience with Marjorie is, people have talked to her about not filing articles of impeachment on President Biden before he was sworn into office, on not filing articles of impeachment that were groundless made on other individuals in the Biden administration."
And she was never moved by that. She was always focused on her social media account."
"And Moscow Marjorie is focused now on this Ukraine issue and getting her talking points from the Kremlin and making sure that she is popular and she is getting a lot of coverage.”

You can hear what he said in the video below.

Buck's use of the nickname "Moscow Marjorie" suggests that Greene's recent stance on the Ukraine issue may be influenced by her decision to gain media coverage by aligning herself with Kremlin talking points.

Greene has been vocal in her opposition to increased spending for Ukraine aid, going as far as filing a motion to vacate the Speakership and threatening to elevate the motion if Johnson pushes for a bill to fund Ukraine.

Many felt the nickname suited Greene and joined Buck in criticizing her actions while in office.


Buck's retirement from Congress last month hasn't stopped him from speaking out against Greene.

Their relationship soured during Buck's final months in office, particularly after Buck worked to remove McCarthy from the speakership last year.

Despite both being former members of the House Freedom Caucus, Greene's departure from the group in 2023 marked a turning point, along with the caucus's decision to expel Buck shortly before his resignation.

Greene has continued to distance herself from so-called "establishment Republicans" in the House of Representatives and recently declared that the "Republican majority is a complete failure," signaling that she would lead an effort to remove Johnson and install someone who might further a more extremist far-right agenda.

President Donald Trump was swiftly mocked after he denied he ever "wrote a picture" after The Wall Street Journal reported on a happy birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein bearing Trump’s signature that included a drawing of a nude woman in sharpie pen.

The letter—reportedly sent by Trump at the request of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who compiled the messages into a leather-bound book for Epstein's 50th birthday—dates back 16 years before Epstein was charged with child sex trafficking by the Justice Department in 2019, during Trump’s presidency.
