Marjorie Taylor Greene Clashes With Sky News Reporter Martha Kelner Over U.S. Security Issues During Press Event in Washington

In a fiery exchange on Tuesday, Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, didn’t hold back when Sky News reporter Martha Kelner pressed her about the Signal chat scandal.

The question, aimed at understanding Greene’s stance on the potential risks to American lives, sparked an explosive response from the Georgia congresswoman.

Greene Tells Reporter to “Go Back to Your Country”

The back-and-forth began when Kelner asked Greene if she cared about American lives possibly being endangered by the leaked Houthi attack plans.

Instead of answering the question, Greene immediately shot back, questioning Kelner’s nationality.

When the reporter responded, “The UK,” Greene didn’t hesitate.

She snapped, “We don’t give a c**p about your opinion and your reporting. Why don’t you go back to your country?”

Greene Continues to Deflect and Attack Foreign Issues

As the questioning continued, Greene shifted the conversation to an entirely different topic.

She asked Kelner, “Do you care about your own borders?” Greene went on to bring up controversial topics, such as the impact of migration on women in the UK, accusing migrants of committing heinous crimes.

She ended her tirade by dismissing the reporter’s inquiry entirely, telling her, “You’re done.

I don’t care about your fake news.”

Pressing the Issue, Another U.S. Reporter Steps In

After Greene’s outburst, an American reporter attempted to redirect the conversation back to the original question about the U.S. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and the group chat leak.

However, Greene refused to address the matter.

Instead, she launched into a rant about the Biden administration, accusing them of endangering the U.S. with their immigration policies.

Greene Deflects to Domestic Issues and Walks Away

Before walking away, Greene reiterated that the press conference was meant to focus on public broadcaster funding, not foreign journalists.

She dismissed the question about Hegseth, instead bringing up what she claimed was the Biden administration’s disregard for U.S. security, particularly at the southern border.

Greene Defends Hegseth and Criticizes U.K.’s Military Involvement in Ukraine

Kelner persisted by asking Greene if Hegseth should resign, to which Greene firmly disagreed, praising the defense secretary for his work.

She also used the moment to criticize the UK’s involvement in the war in Ukraine, stating, “Your country is going to your military fighting a war in Ukraine that is not even a member of NATO.”

A Pattern of Controversial Remarks Toward Foreign Journalists

This isn’t the first time Greene has directed harsh words toward foreign reporters.

Back in 2022, she made similar remarks, telling a British journalist to “go back to your country.”

Despite her comments, Greene seems unbothered, continuing to push her own agenda and deflect questions as she sees fit.

The exchange underscores Greene’s unapologetic approach to foreign criticism, maintaining a sharp divide between her hard-right stance and questions that challenge her views.
