Republicans and Democrats had strong reactions on Saturday after the U.S. House of Representatives, with broad bipartisan support, passed a $95-billion legislative package providing security assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan over bitter objections from Republican hardliners.

The vote on passage of the Ukraine funding was 311-112. However, significantly, 112 Republicans opposed the legislation, with only 101 in support.

Far-right Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene told reporters afterwards that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson was a "lame duck." She has been a leading opponent of helping Ukraine in its war against Russia and has taken steps that threaten to remove Johnson from office over this issue, though she stopped short of doing so on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Democrat Jared Moskowitz called Greene "a menace to the country" while praising Johnson, saying "the Speaker rose to the occasion."
