21 outraged responses to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s ignorant verbal attack on a Sky reporter for being British
In ‘What’s she done now?’ news, Marjorie Taylor Greene has added to the enormous stack of reasons why she’s unfit for public office.
She went viral with a rude and unwarranted attack on Sky News reporter Martha Kelner, who had committed the dual sin of being from the UK and actually asking the congresswoman from Georgia about the catastrophic breach of security caused by the Trump administration‘s use of Signal for confidential discussions.
Watch to the end to see Ms Kelner pursue the story as far as possible, pushing MTG for answers right until her departure. It’s journalism at its best.

“Okay, we don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting. Why don’t you go back to your country?”
There was anger on both sides of the Atlantic.

Respect to @marthakelner for keeping calm and politely persistent, even when hit with "why don't you go back to your country".
Journalists are there to pursue answers, and not to be fobbed off. https://t.co/k5ldzGHSDY— Adam Parsons (@adamparsons) March 26, 2025

Fun fact, this woman represents the 14th district of Georgia, which is literally named after a British King. https://t.co/xQrBCA91kH

Yes, Marge is loutish, ill-mannered and the opposite of classy, but the worst thing about her is that she's stupid. She lacks intelligence. She doesn't belong in Congress. She's an embarrassment.
