Marjorie Taylor Greene lashes out as Emily Maitlis asks about conspiracy theories

Far-right Republican congresswoman, Trump ally and potential vice-presidential pick Marjorie Taylor Greene told a British interviewer to “Fuck off”, when asked about her frequent repetition of conspiracy theories.

Emily Maitlis, formerly a senior journalist at the BBC and now a presenter of the News Agents podcast, spoke to Greene at Donald Trump’s Super Tuesday celebration at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, as the former president closed in on the Republican nomination.

Raising a famous instance of the congresswoman’s eager conspiracy theorising, concerning what she thought was to blame for starting forest fires, Maitlis said: “What about Jewish space lasers? Tell us about Jewish space lasers.”

“No,” Greene said. “Why don’t you go talk about Jewish space lasers and really, why don’t you fuck off? How about that?”

“Thank you very much,” Maitlis said, as Greene walked away.

Oh Margie, say it isn’t so! You’re clearly the smartiest conspiracy nutbag in the pile. I still like you and want you to succeed!

Fucking shitbag.

She’s hideous inside and out.

She’s getting exactly what a malignant narcissist wants: attention.

Disgusting creature continues to be disgusting. More at 11.

A very MTG thing to do.

So if I am to understand Mrs. Greene correctly, a good Christian woman dresses modestly to show their modesty and tells people to fuck off when they get angry.

GiddyGap ,

Didn’t know that “Fuck off” was part of the accepted devout Christian vocabulary.

Have you met a Christian? They have the darkest senses of humor and dirty mouth. It’s a costume that they wear.

She will never be VP, he isn’t going to pick a brown-nose like MGT.

The fact she is a brown-noser is exactly why he will pick her. He’s not interested in ideas or other strong voices. What he wants is to be surrounded by people who will shower him in adulation, tell him he’s right and take the fall for him when it goes wrong.

Psiczar ,

He needs to pick someone more moderate, to appeal to the less lunatic fringes of the Republican Party.

He also won’t go with a woman as they’re only good for pussy grabbing /s

I agree that would be the wise course of action, but this is Trump we’re talking about here.

He doesn’t have a history of making the wise choice.

sailingbythelee ,

Trump is a chauvinist. If Trump picks a woman as a running mate, it’ll be Kristi Noem. She’s got the look he likes. MTG would need a lot of plastic surgery before Trump would pick her for VP.

Here is the original jewish space laser post if anyone is interested.

IdiosyncraticIdiot ,

Wait… So all this time I have been led to believe that MTG actually said “Jewish space lasers”, when in reality that is a media twist and she was just speculating on government corruption (in collusion with corporations).

What a wild time of disinformation we live in.

derGottesknecht ,

she was just speculating on government corruption

That “just” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Shes namedropping Rothschilds and talking about satellites which beam focused light down to earth. So while she never directly said “jewish space lasers” it is at least heavily implied by her.

1: if you actually thought the words “Jewish space lasers” came out of a politicians mouth and didn’t go to verify that for yourself, that’s on you.

2: I bet you also believe the mafia boss who said “it sure would be a shame if that guy who I want dead were to suddenly die” in front of all his goons, he’s innocent when the guy ends up dead 3 hours later. Because he didn’t technically say the words “I want one of you to kill him”

Well that was hilarious and now I have a new show. I loved peep show

That was fantastic! 9 months waiting for an accident.

“Can have that done by Tuesday.” no qualms about the intended use, just “well this is my job and I’m gonna do it within proper regulation, I’m not getting paid enough to care about what goes into the tank of piranhas.”

catloaf ,

“Speculating” is a very generous word for the insinuating she’s doing there.

books ,

I mean, she did point the finger at a group that is part of a lot of antisemitic conspiracy theories.

AFKBRBChocolate ,

Your problem is that she didn’t use those specific words? She just named a few Jewish corporate execs who she’s saying have satellites in space that beam solar energy back to earth that might be responsible for the fires? But she didn’t call that beamed solar energy a laser, and she didn’t specifically mention the religion/heritage of the guys she called out, so it’s a non-story?

I wondered all my life how people, or even any one person, could be so stupid as to fall for stochastic terrorism.

Now here’s a good comment I’ll save for reference for how those dummy npc goons in dystopia movies get made.

This article reads like tabloid trash. Can we all stop giving this antisemite unearned press and save the oxygen for someone more worthwhile?

kent_eh , (edited )

Reminding people how much of a tabloid trash person she really is, especially coming up to an election, has value.

VP pick 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 not even that guy could fuck up that bad

If South Park does it we’re definitely in trouble

Treczoks ,

I would not decry this. He is not looking for a strong, viable candidate. What he wants is a perfect bootlicker, and based on that criteria, she is prime VP material.

AbidanYre ,

He wouldn’t pick a woman who looks like her though.

Treczoks ,

He would not see her face, whether she licks his boots of kisses his ass.

I still can’t believe I was banned from r/politics for calling her a cunt. What a cunt.

Treczoks ,

Oh, they can’t stand the truth, too?

I was banned from r/politics for saying I hoped Rupert Murdoch got a nasty staph infection in an article about him being in the hospital. What the fuck?

stoly ,

That place got brigaded by right wing mods 6-7 years ago.

funkless_eck ,

same way all RW politics stays popular, then

Illuminostro ,

The cuntiest.

stoly ,

I got banned for telling someone that being angry at me won’t make their life better.

PhlubbaDubba ,

I just love how much it gets under her skin to know that the price of being able to get elected in spite of those posts is that nobody will ever let her live it down.

Like she’s done some personally heinous stuff that alone warrants being dredged in her face at every opportunity, but nope, no amount of tantric guru based infidelity is gonna save her from being the Jewish Space Lasers lady.

Her Wikipedia page has a warning … O.O

Greene told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2024 that if Trump won the upcoming election, she would be “certainly particularly interested” in serving as the Secretary of Homeland Security.[143]

AFKBRBChocolate ,

Oh my god, could you imagine her in that position? Someone who has made it clear that she has no issue using her office as a weapon against her enemies?
