Political realignments like the one Americans have witnessed over much of the last decade can be disorienting. But “disorienting” is too soft a word to describe Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s rudderless, impulsive embrace of the odiously undiscerning and only nominally pacifist organization Code Pink.
In all likelihood, Greene didn’t devote much thought to the course to which she committed herself. Code Pink opposes Western support for Ukraine’s effort to prevent Russia from conquering and subjugating its people. Greene does, too. Thus, an alliance of convenience was born. But had the congresswoman or her staff dedicated even a moment’s consideration to the implications that accompany their association with Code Pink, they might have thought twice.
