Marjorie Taylor Greene's Clash with British Journalist Reignites Controversy
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has recently made headlines for her confrontational interactions with British journalists. On March 26, 2025, after attending a congressional hearing on alleged bias at NPR and PBS, Greene was approached by Sky News correspondent Martha Kelner, who inquired about the leaked Signal messages concerning U.S. military strikes in Yemen. Upon detecting Kelner’s British accent, Greene retorted, “We don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting. Why don’t you go back to your country where you have a major migrant problem?”
This incident mirrors a previous encounter in March 2024, when former BBC journalist Emily Maitlis questioned Greene about her endorsement of conspiracy theories, including the infamous Jewish space lasers claim. Greene responded aggressively, stating, “Why don’t you go talk about Jewish space lasers and really, why don’t you f*** off? How about that?”
These exchanges have drawn significant attention, highlighting Greene’s contentious relationship with the media and her unapologetically combative stance toward international journalists.
The controversy surrounding Greene's interactions with British journalists underscores the broader issue of political figures' accountability and their relationship with the media. As public scrutiny intensifies, it remains to be seen how these incidents will impact Greene's political career and her standing within the Republican Party.
