MTG introduces ‘Make Ukraine Great Again’ hat in jab at Johnson
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene showcased a new “MUGA” hat, symbolizing “Make Ukraine Great Again” at a recent press conference. The hat pays homage to Donald Trump’s iconic slogan with colors representing Ukraine’s flag. Greene criticized Rep. Mike Johnson for funding foreign wars, emphasizing taxpayers’ discontent with such expenditures. She highlighted the contrast between “MAGA” and “MUGA” ideologies.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) showed off a new “MUGA” hat during a press conference on Wednesday, with the hat’s initials standing for “Make Ukraine Great Again.”
Greene’s hat is a nod to former President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hat, with her hat’s colors being blue and yellow, the colors of Ukraine’s flag. The Georgia congresswoman spoke at a press conference criticizing House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), specifically for his support funding “the forever wars” by backing a $95 billion foreign aid package last month, of which $61 billion was given to Ukraine.
“Yeah, that’s what this is,” Greene said, showing off the hat. “The uniparty is ‘Make Ukraine Great Again.’ The uniparty is all about funding every single foreign war. They think this is the business model that needs to be done.”
Greene then took the hat and placed it on top of a large photo of Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). She then stated that people do not want their tax dollars “to fund the murder and killing in foreign countries,” adding that voters are “fed up with it.”
The Uniparty hates MAGA. They don’t want to Make America Great Again.

The congresswoman announced she would move forward with her motion to vacate Johnson next week. Greene, who voted for Johnson as House speaker in October, has become increasingly critical of Johnson since he has taken up the gavel.

On Tuesday, Jeffries and other House Democratic leaders stated they would be willing to protect Johnson from a motion to vacate, as the time had come to “turn the page on this chapter of pro-Putin Republican obstruction.” Greene has since claimed that Democrats are supporting Johnson because the House speaker is giving them “everything they want.”
Trump, the presumptive presidential nominee for the Republican Party, backed Johnson during a visit the House speaker made at Trump’s resort in Mar-a-Lago last month. The former president stated that Johnson’s position with a narrow majority is not “an easy situation for any speaker,” adding that he thinks Johnson is doing “as good as you’re going to do.”
