A testy exchange between a far-left reporter and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) left the Georgia Republican swatting away loaded questions about conspiracy theorists with expletives and a wave of the hand.
Speaking with former BBC host Emily Maitlis at President Donald Trump’s Super Tuesday gathering, Rep. Greene celebrated the Republican leader’s careful consideration of vice presidential picks and suggested that Nikki Haley, who is expected to drop out of the race on Wednesday, should not be on that list.
“That’s the question everyone asks and no, I don’t think Nikki Haley should be on that list,” she said, adding that she would be grateful to join Trump’s ticket but is happy to support him from her perch in Congress should he win in November.
“I support President Trump in any way, anyway he’d ask me. But I can assure you it won’t be Nikki Haley.”
That’s when Maitlis dropped the unbiased charade and swooped in to ask about Greene’s supposed support for conspiracy theories.
“Can you tell me why so many people that support Donald Trump love conspiracy theories, including yourself?” she asked.
“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 freedoms and our Constitution, and America First,” she replied while turning to leave. But Maitlis wasn’t done.
“What about Jewish space lasers?” Maitlis quipped.
“Why don’t you go talk about Jewish space lasers and really why don’t you f*** off?” Green shot back.
Supporters of the staunch Trump ally were quick to praise her for calling out the reporter’s trolling.
“I love MTG she takes no crap from anyone!” wrote one user on X.
