Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene refused to answer a question from a Sky News reporter who asked her about the recent leak of classified war plans on Signal: ‘I don’t give a crap about your opinion.’
Cameras captured Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene snapping at a Sky News reporter during a news conference on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
The Georgia Republican refused to answer a question from reporter Martha Kelner, saying it was because the journalist was not from an American outlet.
Video shared by Sky News Kelner asked Greene to respond to the recent leak of U.S. classified war plans on encrypted chat app Signal. In response, the congresswoman asked for Kelner’s nationality. Kelner said she is from the United Kingdom.
Greene quickly told Kelner to concern herself with the affairs of her own country, specifically a high migrant crisis in the UK.
“I don’t give a crap about your opinion or your reporting. Why don’t you go back to your country where you have a major migrant problem,” Greene said, repeatedly interrupting Kelner’s responses, video shows. “You should care about your own borders. No, no, let me tell you something. Do you care about people from your country? What about all the women that are raped by migrants.”
The Georgia representative then called on another reporter, saying: “Yeah, this an American journalist.” Video shows the reporter tell Greene that as an American, he would like to hear her answer to Kelner’s question.
“I’m not answering her question because I don’t care about her network. If you would like to ask, I can answer,” she said.
