Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at a reporter from the UK’s Sky News during a press conference on Wednesday. The reporter, Martha Kelner, tried to ask Greene about the recent leak of messages from the Signal app, which has caused tension among members of the Trump administration and its supporters.
When Kelner approached Greene to ask her question, Greene immediately asked, “Wait, what country are you from?” After Kelner said she was from the UK, Greene became angry.
“Okay, we don’t care about your opinion or your reporting. Why don’t you go back to your country where you have a major migrant problem?” Greene shouted, pointing her finger at the reporter.
Kelner attempted to ask her question again, but Greene interrupted, saying, “No, no, no, no! You should care about your own borders.”
Kelner tried to press further, asking, “Do you care about American lives being put at risk?” but Greene quickly fired back, “No, no, no, no! Let me tell you something: Do you care about people from your country? What about all the women who are raped by migrants? No, do you care — OK, you’re done! I don’t care—”
As Kelner attempted to respond, Greene interrupted again, yelling, “I don’t care about your fake news!” before she moved on to take a question from an American journalist.
The American journalist then said, “Yeah, I’m an American, and I’d like to hear your answer to what she asked.”
Greene responded, “I’m not answering her question because I don’t care about her network. If you want to ask, I can answer.”
Here’s the video of the confrontation:

In a separate event later that day, Greene used her gavel to shut down Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) during a House subcommittee meeting. Crockett was speaking out against efforts to cut funding for public media by the Trump administration.
“To be clear, free speech isn’t about whatever it is y’all want somebody to say. The idea that you want to shut down everyone who isn’t Fox News is bull—-,” Crockett said before Greene cut her off, banging the gavel. Crockett was still reading from the First Amendment when Greene stopped her.
