MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE RAGES AT BBC REPORTER ASKING ABOUT ‘JEWISH SPACE LASERS’:
‘WHY DON’T YOU F–K OFF?’

By Isabel Keane

Published March 6, 2024, 8:38 a.m. ET

Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene exploded at a BBC journalist who asked her
if she believes in “Jewish space lasers” — telling the reporter to “f–k off.”

The Georgia Republican initially had an amicable exchange with the BBC’s Emily
Maitlis at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Super
Tuesday — until asked why she and other Trump supporters appear to love
conspiracy theories.

“Well, let me tell you, you’re a conspiracy theorist, and the left and the media
spread more conspiracy theories,” Greene shot back.

“We like the truth. We like supporting our Constitution, our freedoms, and
America first.”

Before the conservative lawmaker could walk away, Maitlis replied: “What about
Jewish space lasers? Tell us about Jewish space lasers.”

Her question refers to a now-deleted 2018 Facebook rant in which Greene falsely
speculated that Jewish people were to blame when a poorly maintained electrical
grid sparked a California wildfire that killed 84 people.

“No,” Greene quickly replied. “Why don’t you talk about Jewish space lasers?

“Why don’t you f–k off? How about that? Thanks.”

At the top of the interview, Greene said fellow Republicans were encouraging GOP
hopeful Nikki Haley to drop out of the presidential race ahead of Super
Tuesday’s results.

“Well, we’ve been encouraging her to drop out and support President Trump. And I
think tonight is the clear message that President Trump is the clear
front-runner. He’s the winner in our Republican primary. And it’s time for Nikki
Haley to drop out and support him,” Greene said.

she would like to be Trump’s VP. @TheNewsAgents / X

Greene then dodged questions about whether she might be in line for a position
in a future Trump administration, telling Maitlis, “Oh, you know, that’s the
question everyone asks. And no, I don’t think Nikki Haley should be on the list,
but of course, President Trump will choose who he wants for VP.”

“Would you like to be on that list?” Maitlis then asked.

Greene laughed before telling her: “He’s got a long list. I support President
Trump in any way, any way he’s ask me, but I can assure you it won’t be Nikki
Haley.”

What do you think? Post a comment.

Haley, the former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador, will reportedly
suspend her Republican presidential bid Wednesday following a series of defeats
on Super Tuesday, sources told The Post.

She is expected to formally announce the decision at a 10 a.m. press conference
in her home state of South Carolina.
