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.
She will never be VP, he isn’t going to pick a brown-nose like MGT.
The fact she is a brown-noser is exactly why he will pick her. He’s not interested in ideas or other strong voices. What he wants is to be surrounded by people who will shower him in adulation, tell him he’s right and take the fall for him when it goes wrong.
He needs to pick someone more moderate, to appeal to the less lunatic fringes of the Republican Party.
He also won’t go with a woman as they’re only good for pussy grabbing /s
I agree that would be the wise course of action, but this is Trump we’re talking about here.
He doesn’t have a history of making the wise choice.
Trump is a chauvinist. If Trump picks a woman as a running mate, it’ll be Kristi Noem. She’s got the look he likes. MTG would need a lot of plastic surgery before Trump would pick her for VP.
