Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) told a reporter to f-ck off when asked about Jewish space lasers at Trump’s victory party.
Emily Mattles, a former BBC journalist and now host of the podcast The Newsagent, asked Green, “And can you tell me why so many people who support Donald Trump like conspiracy theories? Including himself? He seems to attract a lot of conspiracy theorists.
Green went with the classic ‘I know you are, but what do I defend,’ “Well, let me tell you, you’re a conspiracy theorist, and the left and the media spread more conspiracy theories. We Who love the truth, we love our Constitution, our freedom, and support America.
Maitlis had a follow-up, “What about Jewish space lasers? Tell us about Jewish space lasers.

Green replied, “No, why not, why don’t you talk about Jewish space lasers, and actually, why don’t you turn around?” How is that?”

The exchange took place at a party, and no one else would say it, but it certainly looked like Agent Green had been having a few drinks. Elsewhere in the video, Greene seems to realize that she won’t be Trump’s VP, but revels in the idea that Nikki Haley won’t either.
If a Democrat had talked to a reporter like Green did, it would have been all over the American media. It would be a huge scandal, and either way, President Biden would be blamed.
Conspiracy theories are the lifeblood of Trump and Mega but don’t ask about them or try to hold people like Green accountable for choking them and promoting such dangerous and bigoted extremism.
Anger and irresponsibility are mega-brands.
