WATCH: Marjorie Taylor Greene MELTS DOWN When Reporter Asks Her About ‘Jewish Space Lasers’

Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene pitched a hissy fit and told a reporter to “fuck off” when asked about one of her more outrageous conspiracy theories involving space lasers controlled by Jews that allegedly set off wildfires in California.

Speaking with Former BBC news anchor Emily Maitlis, HuffPost notes, Greene was confronted with some of her strange utterances since she first appeared on the political scene a few years ago.

Maitlis, who now co-hosts “The News Agents” podcast, first asked Greene about Republican presidential primary hopeful Nikki Haley’s potential to beat Donald Trump to the GOP nomination and her own prospects of becoming likely Republican candidate Trump’s running mate.

Greene suggested Haley should drop out and then said she’d do anything for Trump but admitted his potential vice president list is long.

Maitlis then turned to the bizarre conspiracy theories circulated by Greene, Trump, and others in the MAGA movement.

“Can you tell me why so many people that support Donald Trump love conspiracy theories, including yourself? He seems to attract lots of conspiracy theorists.”

Greene responded, “Well let me tell you. You’re a conspiracy theorist and the left and the media spreads more conspiracy theories. We like the truth, we like supporting our Constitution, our freedoms and America First.”

Maitlis then inquired, “What about Jewish space lasers? Tell us about Jewish space lasers.”

The Georgia Republican had a complete meltdown.

“No, why don’t you go talk about Jewish space lasers. And really why don’t you fuck off, how about that?”

As you’d expect, Greene’s remarks set off a wave of criticism and mockery.

Poor Margie. She’s such a hateful snowflake.

Latest Primary Results Show Donald Trump Has A ‘Helluva Math Problem’ Come November

Even though he has won all of the 2024 GOP presidential primaries held so far, the lights are flashing red for failed one-term former president Donald Trump when you take a closer look at the lack of support he’s getting from large portions of the Republican electorate, according to Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA).

Swalwell was a guest Sunday on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” and he noted that all of the primary results show that Trump has not managed to consolidate the Republican Party behind him, despite his wins in the early primary states, where his only remaining competition comes from former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

“I would rather be us than Donald Trump right now,” Swalwell declared.

“I’m hearing the concerns about uncommitted voters in Michigan and the president [Joe Biden] has work to do there, certainly, but when you look at Michigan, ten different counties voted for 30 percent or more for Nikki Haley,” he continued. “Across the board in the primaries, 30 percent of Republican voters say they are never going to vote for Donald Trump.”

Such numbers are a harbinger of what will become of Trump in the general election, Swalwell predicted.

“That is a helluva math problem for Donald Trump, especially when you look back in 2020 it was only 5 percent of Republican voters who said they were never going to vote for Donald Trump — he has a real math problem here,” he continued. “He has a ceiling that keeps coming down every week when he shows us and reminds us who he is. Every day that Nikki Haley stays in this race, it shows Joe Biden who the voters are that are gettable for him in the campaign.”

If only 10 to 15% of Republican voters refuse to cast a ballot for Trump in the general election, he’s toast. And that number will likely rise even higher as soon as Donald is convicted on one of the 91 felonies hanging over his head.

Mary Trump Reveals What Makes Her Uncle So Incredibly ‘Creepy’

If there’s one word that best describes failed former president Donald Trump, according to former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, it’s “creepy,” especially when it comes to how utterly subservient he is to Russian president and war criminal Vladimir Putin.

During a panel discussion, Turnbull noted that around Putin, Trump is “like the 12-year-old boy who goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero.’ It’s really creepy.”

That led CNN’s Christiane Amanpour to ask Trump’s niece, Mary, about what in her uncle’s past might have led him to act in such a way.

“I’m really stunned by how what you said and I didn’t know what you’re going to say about his childhood matched exactly what a former prime minister of Australia witnessed.”

Mary Trump replied, “Yeah, and I think what’s important to know, that most people certainly wouldn’t, it is really no laughing matter when at that point the leader of the free world is being described as a pre-pubescent child with a crush on an older, more powerful person. What the consequences are.”

“It’s not simply that Donald knew that by fulfilling his father’s demands to be the quote, unquote killer, to be the successful one, it was understanding what would happen to him if he failed to do those things because he had an object lesson in my father, who was quite literally destroyed by his inability to fill the role my grandfather required of him,” she added.

Donald Trump is obsessed with Putin. And that alone means he’s unfit to serve as president of the United States again.

New Survey Ranks Donald Trump As The Worst President In History

While many of us have long believed that Donald Trump will go down in history as the worst president the United States has ever elected, a just released survey from the Presidential Greatness Project suggests that the 45th president is indeed the bottom of the barrel when it comes to American leaders.

Newsweek reports the purpose of the survey was to “create a ranking of presidential greatness that covered all presidents from George Washington to Joe Biden.”

Respondents were asked to rate each U.S. president on a scale of zero to 100 for their “overall greatness,” with zero being failure, 50 being average and 100 being great. The ratings were averaged for each president and then ranked from highest average to lowest.

Lincoln placed first with a 95.03 average, followed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in at No. 2 with 90.83, George Washington at No. 3 with 90.32, Teddy Roosevelt at No. 4 with 78.58 and Thomas Jefferson at No. 5 with 77.53, the survey results show.

The latest results come from 54 responses from scholars “whose work engages presidential politics” and who are members of the American Political Science Association. The survey was conducted online in November and December of 2023.

Just how badly did Trump do when compared to other U.S. heads of state? So much so that he rated lower than James Buchanan, who consistently ranks near the bottom of similar polls.

Trump received the lowest rating with a 10.92 average, behind James Buchanan at No. 44 with 16.71, Andrew Johnson at No. 43 with 21.56, Franklin Pierce at No. 42 with 24.6, William Henry Harrison at No. 41 with 26.01 and Warren Harding at No. 40 with 27.76, according to the Presidential Greatness Project.

President Joe Biden was ranked in the top third of the list, placing at No.14 with a rating of 62.7.

The new survey also ranks Trump as the “most polarizing” president in the 247 year history of the United States.

In 2019, as he was about to be impeached, Trump proudly declared himself to be the “greatest of all presidents.”

 “‘Not only have the Democrats not advanced key pieces of legislation that would help the economy, but the polls, especially in early states, are showing that voters are tuning out.’ @PeteHegseth They don’t want our greatest of all presidents impeached!”

Greatest of all presidents? Not even close.

Hunter Biden Has A Devastating Comeback When Matt Gaetz Asks Him About His Drug Use

Hunter Biden’s closed-door testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday led to sparks between Biden and committee member Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) when the Florida congressman asked about drug usage by the president’s son, according to a transcript of the hearing.

Gaetz began by asking Biden, “Were you on drugs when you were on the Burisma board?”

Biden responded, “Mr. Gaetz, look me in the eye. You really think that’s appropriate to ask me?”

Gaetz, “Absolutely.”

“Of all the people sitting around this table,” Biden said, “do you think that’s appropriate to ask me?”

Biden’s comment was a reference to an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation of Gaetz for alleged drug use and sex with underage girls who were reportedly transported across state lines.

“I will answer it this way,” Biden told Gaetz. “I have been absolutely transparent about my drug use. Was I an addict? Yes, I was an addict. What does that have to do with whether or not you’re going to go forward with an impeachment of my father other than to simply try to embarrass me?”

It remains to be seen if the House Ethics Committee will release the results of its investigation of Gaetz before the November election. The report could result in the congressman being booted from Congress.

A federal criminal investigation of Gaetz for sex trafficking ended in 2023 when the Justice Department declined to charge him with any crimes related to his actions, NBC News reported at the time.

Prosecutors had spent months investigating Gaetz’s personal conduct and, specifically, allegations that he was part of a scheme that led to the sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl. At the core of their investigation was testimony from a former Gaetz associate, Joel Greenberg, who worked as a Florida tax collector.
