This is the sickening moment Marjorie Taylor Greene lashed out at a British journalist over a question about Signalgate, telling her: “We don’t give a crap about your opinion”. The scathing attack was filmed during a press conference on Wednesday, where Sky News reporter Martha Kelner approached the MAGA Rep.
But before she could finish asking her question, Greene interrupted and demanded to know “What country are you from?” After learning the journalist was from the UK, she launched a scathing 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? You should care about your own borders. Do you care about people from your own country? What about all the women that are raped by migrants?” As the journalist attempted to interject, she said: “Ok you’re done.”
When asked about service members fighting on behalf of the US, Greene simply replied: “I don’t care about your fake news.”
She then went on to take a question from an American reporter, who said he would like to hear her answer to the UK journalist’s question. Greene replied: “I’m not answering her question, because I don’t care about her network.”

It comes after the Trump administration’s loathing of Europe was laid bare in a leaked Signal group chat which was accidentally shared with political journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg.
The Atlantic Magazine editor-in-chief said in a post on the publication’s website on Monday that he appeared to have been added to the chat unintentionally by White House National Security Adviser Michael Waltz. He reported seeing national security officials plan airstrikes in Yemen.
The White House and members of the chat, which included Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance, have repeatedly said the chat did not contain classified information.
It later emerged Mr Hegseth messaged timings of strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, although he did not state exactly where attacks would be carried out.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt branded the revelations a “hoax”, although the veracity of the messages has not been contested officially.
Mr Trump has defended members of his administration while Democrats grilled some of those who were in the chat, with Senator for New Jersey Andy Kim going one step further and calling for Mr Hegseth’s resignation.
