GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s attempt to shame the so-called “uniparty” of pro-Ukraine Republicans and Democrats has backfired.

During a Wednesday press conference on her plan to remove Speaker of the House Mike Johnson from leadership over the passage of $61 billion in Ukraine aid, Greene displayed a blue and yellow “MUGA” (“Make Ukraine Great Again”) hat, a reference to the MAGA slogan often associated with former President Donald Trump.
“The uniparty is Make Ukraine Great Again,” Greene said while holding up the hat, before placing it on a poster of Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. “The uniparty is all about funding every single foreign war. They think this is the business model that needs to be done … That’s not how you build jobs in America.”
The Uniparty hates MAGA. They don’t want to Make America Great Again.
The Uniparty is MUGA. Make Ukraine Great Again.

Greene’s “MUGA” moment seemingly inspired the liberal anti-Trump group MeidasTouch. The group began selling $45 limited-edition replicas of the hats the very next day, with all proceeds going to benefit pro-Ukraine charities United Help Ukraine and World Central Kitchen.
“BREAKING: MTG had a meltdown over aid being sent to Ukraine and unveiled a new MUGA hat,” the group wrote in a post to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday. “In her honor, we are now selling the hat with 100% of profits going to two groups who do incredible work in Ukraine. Get yours – and thank Marge for her support!”
