Lefist actress Alyssa Milano was mocked over the weekend for revealing that she gave up her Tesla because of “white supremacy” and instead purchased an electric Volkswagen, a car company that was founded by the Nazis.

“I gave back my Tesla. I bought the VW ev. I love it,” Milano tweeted. “I’m not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model.”

Volkswagen was created in 1937 when the German government, under control of the Nazi Party, formed the state-owned company, History reports. The company was operated by the Nazi organization German Labor Front.

Milano’s tweet was instantly mocked by thousands online, including by Twitter CEO and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

“Volkswagen was literally founded by the Nazi’s and Hitler,” conservative political commentators The Hodge Twins responded to Milano, along with a clown emoji. Musk responded with a laughing emoji and a “100” emoji, signifying that he agreed with their response.

“Nothing says ‘I’m concerned about white supremacy’ like buying a car from a company founded by the Nazi government,” writer Mark Hemingway tweeted. “To be clear I don’t think there’s anything problematic about buying a VW in the 21st century, but if you’re virtue signaling that would be a bigger deal than buying a car from the guy who fled South Africa to avoid being conscripted in their racist army.”

Liberal Clifton Duncan responded to Milano, “If you praise Woodrow Wilson, who held screenings of ‘The Birth of a Nation’ at the White House, then brag about buying a car from a company founded by Nazis, you really should stop virtue signaling about others aligning themselves with hate and White Supremacy.”

Others also highlighted VW’s emission scandal from a few years ago where the company cheated on diesel-emissions tests after years of promoting “Clean Diesel.”  The company installed software on its cars that made the cars perform compliant with federal regulations when the cars were being tested for emissions but when the vehicles were out driving on the road they produced significantly higher emissions. Felony convictions have already been secured in the criminal case against those who were involved.

Two things:

1. If you google “how did volkswagen get its name” and “who was its largest champion”, definitely be sitting down when you do that

Others online highlighted Milano’s past praise of Musk.

“Before it became trendy to hate Elon Musk, Alyssa Milano was his greatest fan,” writer Ian Miles Cheong tweeted. “Why are people like this?”

“Good question,” Musk responded. “Seems like NPC to PC ratio is super high!”

Top Republicans in Congress promised to put an end to bloated funding bills for Ukraine.

Appearing on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, Ohio Congressman Mike Turner and Texas Congressman Michael McCaul blasted Democrats for continuing to pass large spending bills to support Ukraine, saying that only a small fraction of the funding actually goes to helping the country. While Republicans will continue to fund Ukraine’s defense efforts, Turner promised that future bills will be smaller and have much more transparency and accountability.

“I went to Ukraine in a bipartisan group for the sole purposes of telling President Zelenskyy that he does have continued support and he will have bipartisan support,” said Turner. “The issue, obviously, is this, we don’t need to pass $40 billion large Democrat bills that have been passed to send $8 billion to Ukraine. What we’re going to do — and it’s been very frustrating, obviously, even to the Ukrainians where they hear these large numbers in the United States as a result of the, you know, burgeoned Democrat bills and the little amount of aid that they receive. We’re going to make certain they get what they need.”

Rep. Mike Turner tells @MarthaRaddatz it's "frustrating" for Ukrainians to hear figures of "burgeoned Democrat bills and the little amount of aid that they receive."

“I think the majorities on both sides of the aisle support this effort,” McCaul added. “I think, you know, everybody has a voice in Congress. You know, and the fact is, we are going to provide more oversight, transparency and accountability. We’re not going to write a blank check. You know, the last $40 billion package that passed, it was given to us the day of the vote. And members only had a matter of hours to go through all these pages of $40 billion supplemental.”

“And to be honest, a lot of this went to backfill our stockpiles. However, the Republicans are not going to rule like that. We have a voice now and we’re going to do this in an accountable way, with transparency to the American people,” he continued. “These are American taxpayer dollars going in. Does that diminish our will to help the Ukraine people fight? No. But we’re going to do it in a responsible way.”

Rep. Michael McCaul tells @MarthaRaddatz that Republicans will provide “more oversight, transparency and accountability" to Ukraine spending with new House majority.

According to a report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the U.S. has already passed $68 billion in aid to Ukraine, and the Biden administration requested another $37.7 billion earlier this month, which would push the total to $105.5 billion.

Just $17 billion has gone to short-term military aid, such as transferring weapons; another $10.4 billion has gone to long-term military support, much of which will likely go to rebuilding the Ukranian military post-war; $9.6 billion has gone to U.S. operations in the region, and $1.2 billion has gone to the Department of Defense.

The remaining $30 billion has been spent on other things like humanitarian aid, economic aid to the Ukranian government, and U.S. government operations and domestic costs.
