Far-right Republican congresswoman, Trump ally and potential vice-presidential pick Marjorie Taylor Greene told a British interviewer to “Fuck off”, when asked about her frequent repetition of conspiracy theories.
Emily Maitlis, formerly a senior journalist at the BBC and now a presenter of the News Agents podcast, spoke to Greene at Donald Trump’s Super Tuesday celebration at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, as the former president closed in on the Republican nomination.
Raising a famous instance of the congresswoman’s eager conspiracy theorising, concerning what she thought was to blame for starting forest fires, Maitlis said: “What about Jewish space lasers? Tell us about Jewish space lasers.”
“No,” Greene said. “Why don’t you go talk about Jewish space lasers and really, why don’t you fuck off? How about that?”
“Thank you very much,” Maitlis said, as Greene walked away.
I just love how much it gets under her skin to know that the price of being able to get elected in spite of those posts is that nobody will ever let her live it down.
Like she’s done some personally heinous stuff that alone warrants being dredged in her face at every opportunity, but nope, no amount of tantric guru based infidelity is gonna save her from being the Jewish Space Lasers lady.
Her Wikipedia page has a warning … O.O
Oh my god, could you imagine her in that position? Someone who has made it clear that she has no issue using her office as a weapon against her enemies?
