List of members of Congress reportedly sanctioned by Russia (April 13, 2022)
Russia on Wednesday announced sanctions on 398 members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Included on the list were several Republican representatives who have made comments construed by many to be sympathetic to Russia, like Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Matt Gaetz of Florida and Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said the list of sanctioned members of Congress—as well as 87 Canadian senators—was a response to the United States placing sanctions on 328 members of the Russian State Duma, the country’s lower house of parliament, on March 24.
No explanation was given for how Russia chose the names for its list. Last week, Greene and Gaetz were two of only three House representatives who voted against banning the import of Russian oil.
In public comments, Greene has also seemingly been more sympathetic toward Russia than Ukraine.
“NATO has been supplying the neo-Nazis in Ukraine with powerful weapons and extensive training on how to use them,” Greene tweeted on March 15. “What the hell is going with these #NATONazis?”
During a March interview on the digital outlet Voice of Rural America, Greene also stated how she felt Ukraine was mismatched against the invading Russians.
“You see Ukraine just kept poking the bear, poking the bear, which is Russia, and Russia invaded,” she said. “And the hard truth is…there is no win for Ukraine here. Russia is being very successful in their invasion.”
The U.S. sanctions on the State Duma members target their property and assets, as well as bans them from dealings with American citizens. Few details were made available about Moscow’s sanctions against American politicians, aside from that it would “mirror” the U.S. measures and ban those on the list from visiting Russia.
A group known as the Republican Accountability Project recently published a list of “pro-Putin Republicans and conservatives.” Links to video or text of various statements deemed favorable toward Russian President Vladimir Putin and/or Russia from the people on the list are available on the group’s website. Along with Greene, Montana Representative Matt Rosendale and Illinois Representative Mary Miller were also on the list, as were Gaetz and Cawthorn.
“I’m more concerned with the US-Mexico border than the Russia-Ukraine border. Not sorry,” Gaetz tweeted in January prior to the invasion.
Meanwhile, Cawthorn attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently while speaking to a group of his supporters.
“Remember that Zelensky is a thug,” Cawthorn said during the event, which can be seen in a video shown by local NBC-affiliated station WRAL-TV. “Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and it is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies.”
However, on Twitter, Cawthorn called Putin’s actions “disgusting.”
“I am praying for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,” Cawthorn also wrote.

Every day, we seem to start off with a new LOAD OF DISINFORMATION… some of it by our own Patriots…and those OTHERS, of course! It’s called FRUSTRATION!
WE cannot help but be Frustrated at the continuous onslaught of ignorance and hatred for all of our ORIGINAL Countrymen’s ideas, which has been drawn up as THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, that have served us all so well, in Peace times and in War.
To be faced and pushed by so many blatant haters and criminals, because of who we are and for what we stand for, is a massive turnoff. It is against our Constitutional Law and it is a personal affront to every American citizen.
BUT, to say we are so upset over the time it takes to get rid of them, that we will just fold up and give in to the thieves of fairness and justtice, and to cater to the murderers of those who fight and have fought to their deaths, for freedom, honor and duty, is
just not a part of the Original American Citizens’ or founding Fathers’ DNA, Mindset, Mentality or Desire of Life, anywhere on this planet; It is Who We Are. It is in our Blood. It is our purpose and reason for living in thes FREE and JOYFUL country, to rid of land of these haters, murderers and thieves of all the wonderful parts of our lives. Giving up is not a part of our DNA today, in the past, or in our future.
This Mindset of ‘Fighting for Freedom’ has been handed down to every one of us living today, even if we do not understand this or why it it true, or when and how it happened. THIS is the FRUSTRATION of many, THAT so many of our citizens have no clue as to the reality of WHO THEY REALLY ARE, AS CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
We are Citizens of the Most Important Group of Civilized People in the World. We have lived FREE and INDEPENDENT of other countries. Our collective Desire
is to remain Free and Independent. And to help others around the world understand how well our system works for the Good of All. Except Criminals.
We will not allow this current crop of enemies, Neo-nazis, Democrat/Socialists, Marxists, antifas, and generic Greed-Centered Communists, to bully us into waving a white flag, just to get them all to shut up or go away. They may never stop their hate and endless drivel. I believe they will have to, including te Mass Media, because they will have been driven from this amazing country. What if they never stop trying to harm us? WE CAN DEAL WITH THAT. Patience, Intelligence, FAITH, and HONOR are our watchwords.
Someone mentioned their frustration with all the Whining. While you hear whining? I hear a seething anger and a new reserve of the american strength of will to defeat quietly, by using our own laws that they have tried to destroy, but cannot. WE ARE WINNING THIS WAR.
While you see that we have proof but just keep whining? I hear a natural Frustration to get things done that are not easily acccomplished at all, much less over night or over a period of weeks. The legal constitutional processes have been set up to avoid making costly mistakes in our HASTE to ‘fix’ or ‘change’. This is why we find our Most Intelligent in the skills of this type of WAR, and then we SUPPORT and FOLLOW their LEAD.
We are determined NOT to have a civil war in the streets of our cities and states. To accomplish that end, we must use our honorable laws in honorable ways. We must not use them against our enemies with the same ungodly methods they have used on us. We must rid ourselves According to the processes laid out in our Constitution.
We must not only prove facts, but must win each step of this war by using the brainpower of our forefathers, the words and rights of our Constitution of honorable behaviors allowed, and we must use the means that are legal, moral, ethical, and in keeping with those of all truly Good and Honest Citizens who came before us and have already FOUGHT AND WON many of these battles
We must follow and use the mindset of courageous Leaders and Warriors who are already in place, working on our behalf every day to defeat these criminals. We are leaning on their accumulated education, understanding of this War in today’s terms, knowledge, loyalty and love of our country, and their determination and willingness to defend us with everything they have, every breath, to the end.
In the past years and in just the past few months, we have been given so many amazing and important WINS by these brilliant heroes who know how to fight this kind of War. Will we DARE to tire now?
We will awaken each day with new resolve, new mental courage and determination of steel to keep up our part of the work, reading and interacting with others to do our part to convince, NOT to beat down and insult, but to politely convince others that our U.S.CONSTITUTION is worthy of our best honorable defence, and actions to preserve it.
We will Not Bend a Knee, or grow weak in our battle for the FREEDOMS of Every Human Being Around the World, unborne, young or old. If this War being Won is all we are every known for, then these actions and words are worth every day of our lives. This War is larger than the United States; citizens around the World are counting on us not to give up. We Will Not Give Up Our Country or our God Given RIGHTS TO FREEDOM and LIFE!
Do our minds and bodies get tired? Yes, we all can be temporarily discouraged at the length of time this is taking, or of having to deal with such a high level of Ignorance and Arrogance of people who vibrate on a very low level as a way of life. People who are willing to make fools of themselves before others certainly qualify as Ignorant and Arrogant.
This is when we lean on God, who supports us in all life, who gives us great strength to handle life issues, and all the consequences of weakness and sorrow. We will rest, we will pray, we will awaken again, refreshed to do more than we did yesterday. We cannot be in a hurry about these important responsibilities. We have learned from ancient History of what the consequences will be if we fail to be Strong in our Purpose and Faithful to what is RIGHT, and to NEVER cave into evil.
We the People, are in this WAR together, the same as our Original American Founding Fathers and their families, who fought for our safety, sanity, and FREEDOMS. In the past, we have been Very negligent in our understanding and actions, so now, we must become much more aware and much more intelligent about lour lives and overnment, than ever before, to be able to regain lost ground.
ill harm us Medically or Financially in the name of “SCIENCE” or “GOVERNMENT REGULATION”. ‘MANDATE” or “BANKING LAWS” which WE NOW KNOW TO NOT BE CONSTITUTIONAL, BUT MADE UP BY GREED-CENTERED CRIMINAL MINDS who posed as our trusted Leaders.
We Must Speak Out against these Communist agendas for total control over us.
No One will take our VOTES away. Regardless of the positions they hold, or the wealth they have accrued, their Race, Color, Creed, Religion, whether Man or Woman, Self taught or Instututionalized, do not allow people whom you suspect or know to be problematical, to infuence your good ideas that harm no one. Your brain will tell you
if you have enough information to make a good decision; if not, wait. Keep adding valid and twice verified, information into your brain.
Knowledge of who you are in your life and of your responsibility for being on this Earth and in this Country will make your personal FREEDOM an ABSOLUTE, and that in turn will make your life simpler and happier!
We are already “knee-deep” into the 21st Century. If you know anything of the raw details of the 20th Century, you understand that WE HAVE THE BRAINS AND SKILLS TO NOT LIVE THROUGH ANOTHER BRUTAL AND TERRIFYING CENTURY OF LIFE AS THAT ONE. We owe it to our predecessors who had to fight a grinding life through that period or time to get us to the present. WE CAN DO BETTER.
WE CAN CHANGE OUR COLLECTIVE PATH, AND IN AN AMAZING, HONORABLE WAY FORWARD, TO END THE SUFFERING OF SO MANY LIVES OF GOOD PEOPLE, JUST TO GUARANTEE THE GREED, EXTREME WEALTH, AND TOTALITARIAN CONTROL BY OTHERS.
I apoliogize for the length of this message. I am old, and born of old parents. My parents were born on the 4th of July, 1904 and 1901. They lived through the bloody and brutal years of the 20th Century, not the “Hollywood Famous” great 20th Century that is presented now. The Hollywood lens did not see Reality then, just as they do not see Reality now, as it still does not suit Their Purpose.
We do not have to repeat the 20th Century. I believe it is our DUTY to Not Repeat It. Our Constitution allows that to be accomplished, BY EACH OF US. God Bless the USA and all of the GOOD WE STAND FOR. BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN PATRIOT. THAT TITLE WILL NEVER GET OLD OR TARNISHED BY THE EVENTS OF TIME.
Politicians as usual talking on two sides of their mouth!
Russia — BAD — PUTIN — BAD — We will send more weapons & money to Ukraine , because Ukraine — GOOD. NAZIS. — GOOD — too !!! And World-War 3 is BETTER than COVID !!! NEW-WORLD-ORDER.
