MTG Claims Ukraine Is “Harvesting Children’s Organs”

“And over in Ukraine, Charlie, by the way we haven’t even talked about this, the country that Mitch McConnell and Schumer and Lindsay Graham and Tom Cotton and everybody can’t wait to give another 100 billion dollars to, Ukraine is one of the worst countries on the Earth for child sex trafficking and they’re harvesting children’s organs over there.” – Marjorie Taylor Greene, on Charlie Kirk’s show.

The Associated Press reported last year:

As Ukrainians flooded into Poland earlier this year to flee Russian invaders, a hacking group aligned with the Kremlin sought to spread rumors that criminal gangs were waiting to harvest the organs of child refugees. The unfounded claim made its way into Russian-state media and online platforms popular with far-right groups in the U.S., where posts spreading the hoax have been shared many thousands of times on sites like Telegram and Twitter.

And of course QAnon nutbags leapt on this idiocy.
