Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene exploded at a BBC journalist who requested her if she believes in “Jewish area lasers” — telling the reporter to “f–okay off.”
The Georgia Republican initially had an amicable alternate with the BBC’s Emily Maitlis at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Tremendous Tuesday — till requested why she and different Trump supporters seem to like conspiracy theories.
“Properly, let me let you know, you’re a conspiracy theorist, and the left and the media unfold extra conspiracy theories,” Greene shot again.
“We like the reality. We like supporting our structure, our freedoms, and America first.”
Earlier than the conservative lawmaker might stroll away, Maitlis replied: “What about Jewish area lasers? Inform us about Jewish area lasers.”
Her query refers to a now-deleted 2018 Fb rant by which Greene falsely speculated that Jewish individuals have been guilty when a poorly maintained electrical grid sparked a California wildfire that killed 84 individuals.
“No,” Greene rapidly replies. “Why don’t you discuss Jewish area lasers?
“Why don’t you f–okay off? How about that? Thanks.”
On the prime of the interview, Greene mentioned that fellow Republicans have been encouraging GOP hopeful Nikki Haley to drop out of the presidential race forward of Tremendous Tuesday’s outcomes.
“Properly, we’ve been encouraging her to drop out and assist President Trump. And I feel tonight is the clear message that President Trump is the clear frontrunner. He’s the winner in our Republican main. And it’s time for Nikki Haley to drop out and assist him,” Greene mentioned.
Greene then dodged questions on whether or not she is likely to be in line for a place in a future Trump administration, telling Maitlis, “Oh, you understand, that’s the query everybody asks. And no, I don’t assume Nikki Haley needs to be on the record, however in fact, President Trump will select who he needs for VP.”
“Would you wish to be on that record?” Maitlis then asks.
Greene laughs earlier than telling her: “He’s acquired an extended record. I assist President Trump in any approach, any approach he’s ask me, however I can guarantee you it received’t be Nikki Haley.”
Haley, the previous South Carolina governor and UN ambassador, will reportedly droop her Republican presidential bid Wednesday, following a collection of defeats on Tremendous Tuesday, sources instructed The Put up.
She is anticipated to formally announce the choice at a ten a.m. press convention in her house state of South Carolina.
