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.
