Marjorie Taylor Greene hit out at a British Sky News journalist over Signalgate, telling her: “We don’t give a crap about your opinion”. Martha Kelner approached the MAGA Rep. at a press conference on Wednesday (26 March) and as she started to ask a question, Taylor Green interrupted her and demanded to know: “What country are you from?” When the journalist told her she was from the UK, Taylor Greene launched into an angry verbal attack. She said: “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?”

        I understand the Americans that want to distance themselves from this and Republicans in general and especially Trump.
        I too would hate to have to share any label with Republicans.

        But unfortunately for good Americans, they do share the label American with the totalitarian fascist Republicans.
        And what’s more unfortunate is, that the Republicans was the majority at the Presidential election.

        I’m sorry to have to lump you together with them under the label American. But this administration and Republicans do represent the whole country now, even those that hate them.

        It looks like all the Russian agents (Republicans) are trying to spoil US relations with Europe. Why would Putin want them to do that?

    Not being American I still knew about her but I’d never either seen her or hear her talking.

    There’s no excuse for such poor behavior to a standard question.

      That’s the schtick. It makes the news reels and gets her name out there for 15s and it normalizes crazier behavior for others.

      It’s all the juicing and human growth hormone that made her ugly head swell into a pumpkin doing most of the heavy lifting on her already shitty personality. This crazy bitch is a walking (on her fucked up hammer toes) roid rage ready to happen at any moment.

    We have a “major migrant problem”?

    Kinda sounds like the US is the one with that problem… Things seemed to start going wrong after the Native Americans noticed migrants showing up…

    I wonder who this angry rude woman is, and why they’re giving her a platform.

      It’s been a long time coming. Their “American Exceptionalism” thing has been leading this way for decades now. They’re just not smart enough anymore to keep their fart sniffing and xenophobic comments among themselves anymore.

          some of us are still trying to correct this clusterfuck and mitigate the immediate threat this administration poses. after that, idk.

      We have a massive regional population of most of the worst humans on the planet, the kind of people Hitler wrote of as a model for Germany in mein kampf when copied the Nuremberg Laws from Jim crow.

      They’re evil, and all they care about is racism, if they weren’t part of America they would have been beaten to a bloody mess a century ago in a way that would have taught them the lesson they desperately need.

      Hmmm don’t they? hasn’t MTG been reelected twice already?

      I’m sorry but I am finding hard to believe this is not a reflection of the USA when it has taken about 20 years to get here after EVERY POSSIBLE WARNING. Best I can give you is that the majority may not be like this but could not be bothered ticking a box to avoid it

        It’s supremely fucked up, you can rest assured on that.

        Also, wherever you live in the world, the powers that be are working right now to construct this exact same mousetrap for you, so when a minority around you consolidates power, breaks traditions and laws, and continues for years - you’ll know what it’s like.

        It’s like the times you want dessert and you’ve been given a choice between a cucumber and a rotten stinking corpse, and you say ‘meh, I think they’re equivalent, so maybe I’ll sit it out this time’. And the other people pick the corpse and everyone gets sick eating it.

        MTG’s district is the 14th of Georgia. It has a population (according to Wikipedia) of 796,193. She won her election with 64.4% of the votes. Even if we had 100% voter representation (lol we most certainly do not), that means that 512,748 or so people voted for her. Again according to Wikipedia, the US’ population is at about 340M. That means that at most 0.15% of the country voted for her.

        She also originally won her election because she jumped from a different district in Georgia to the 14th, whose incumbent had announced was not running for re-election. So no, she doesn’t represent anything approaching a majority of the US; if anything she represents everything that is wrong with our current voting system.
