The Georgia Congressman brought up Ukraine’s controversial Azov Brigade before attacking a witness who called accusations of neo-Nazism in Ukraine a Russian “disinformation trope.”
Greene pointed to an NBC headline and said, “They say Ukraine’s Nazi problem is real. Even if Putin’s claim of denazification is not, our own American media, unless you consider disinformation spreaders from NBC or Time or disinformation media.”

“So my grandmother was part of the Kindertransport from Germany. Her parents were murdered in Auschwitz. My grandfather and her husband escaped the pogroms from Poland. You know, the idea that we act as if that behavior is acceptable and normal,” Moskowitz continued.
“There are no concentration camps in Ukraine. They don’t take babies and shoot them in the air because they are Jewish. There are no gas chambers. There are no ovens. They don’t offend people. They don’t tear gold. from the mouths of people. They don’t take things out of their house. They are not trying to exterminate a people, the Ukrainians.”

Moskowitz concluded his impassioned remarks by once again calling out Greene, “It’s despicable that we use that and allow that, and we sit here as if it’s somehow normal.”
Greene’s comments about neo-Nazism in Ukraine referred to the militia group, which has roots in neo-Nazism, but the Azov Brigade is considered controversial in Ukraine and does not represent the country’s military as a whole.
