Watch: Marjorie Taylor Greene turns on Times Radio

Times Radio

What is it with Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Brits? First, she advised the-then Foreign Secretary David Cameron to ‘kiss my ass.’ Then, she told ex-BBC star Emily Maitlis to ‘go f**k off’. And now she has pinned the blame for the Trump assassination attempt on, er, British broadcasters at Times Radio. Clearly the spirit of 1776 is alive and well with this one…

In an interview with Times Radio reporter Jo Crawford at the Republican National Convention, Greene bristled at criticism of Trump’s pick for vice-president, JD Vance. After Crawford asked about Vance previously likening Trump to Hitler, Greene snapped and suggested that the reason ‘I have some of the most highest amount of death threats [is] because of people like you.’

She continued ‘shame on you, shame on you’ and declaring ‘we have to put up with the most unreal amount of bulls**t because of little liars like you that take your job and turn it into political activism.’ ‘Your job is the press. You should report the news’, she added before concluding:

You’re the cause of our country being divided. You’re the cause of our country being divided. You’re the cause of President Trump almost being assassinated. You’re the cause of everything wrong in evidence for these claims. No, no. You’re done. You’re done yet. Go back. Thank you.

Ouch. You can watch the exchange below:
