‘Go Back To Your Country’: MTG Shuts Down Reporter’s Question About Leaked Signal Messages


The mainstream media has been working overtime this week to make a mountain out of the molehill reported by The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg.

For her part, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was clearly in no mood to field another question about the leaked messages from a conversation involving high-level Trump administration officials.

When one British reporter tried to ask her about the story, Greene shot back by shifting the focus to problems in the Sky News correspondent’s home country.

As the New York Post reported:

The Georgia Republican — fresh out of a congressional hearing on allegations of bias at NPR and PBS— snapped when Sky News correspondent Martha Kelner attempted to ask her about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth divulging details of the March 15 strikes in Yemen in the encrypted messaging app.

“Wait. What country are you from?” Greene asked seconds after hearing Kelner’s accent.

When the reporter responded that she was from the United Kingdom, the congresswoman refused to even let her finish her question, let alone answer it.

“OK, we don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting,” Greene said. “Why don’t you go back to your country, where you have a major migrant problem.

“No, no, no, no — you should care about your own borders,” the GOP firebrand continued, as Kelner persisted.

A C-SPAN clip of the exchange evoked an array of social media reactions, including many who applauded Greene’s emphatic pushback against Kelner’s query:

President Donald Trump weighed in on a related lawsuit — in particular, the judge assigned to preside over it.

As Fox News reported:

President Donald Trump sounded off on Truth Social early Thursday after Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia was assigned to preside over a lawsuit lodged against several Trump administration officials and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

The Obama-nominated judge has also been presiding over a lawsuit challenging Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies act for authority to deport Venezuelan members of Tren de Aragua, which the U.S. has designated as a foreign terrorist organization.

“How disgraceful is it that ‘Judge’ James Boasberg has just been given a fourth ‘Trump Case,’ something which is, statistically, IMPOSSIBLE. There is no way for a Republican, especially a TRUMP REPUBLICAN, to win before him. He is Highly Conflicted, not only in his hatred of me — Massive Trump Derangement Syndrome! — but also, because of disqualifying family conflicts,” Trump asserted in a post.

“Boasberg, who is the Chief Judge of the D.C. District Court, seems to be grabbing the ‘Trump Cases’ all to himself, even though it is not supposed to happen that way. Is there still such a thing as the ‘wheel,’ where the Judges are chosen fairly, and at random?” he continued.

Here’s how Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded:
