Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Heated Exchange with British Journalist Over Yemen Leak Raises Eyebrows
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican representative from Georgia, is making headlines after a heated exchange with British journalist Martha Kelner of Sky News. The confrontation took place during a press conference on Wednesday, where Kelner attempted to ask Greene about a significant security breach involving U.S. military operations in Yemen.
Key Highlights:
The Leaked Signal Messages and Security Blunder
The controversy stems from a major security blunder, in which sensitive details of U.S. military operations were leaked to journalist Jeffrey Goldberg via the encrypted messaging app, Signal. These details pertain to ongoing military activities in Yemen, raising questions about the potential risks to national security.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Verbal Attack on the Journalist
As Kelner approached Greene to ask about the leak, the Republican representative fired back, demanding to know where the journalist was from. When Kelner responded that she was from the UK, Greene launched into a verbal attack, saying, “We don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting. Why don’t you go back to your country, where you have a major migrant problem? You should care about your own borders.”
Tensions Escalate Over Migrant Crisis
Greene’s response didn’t stop there. As Kelner attempted to ask a follow-up question, Greene raised controversial issues related to the migrant situation in the UK, stating, “Do you care about people from your country? What about all the women that are raped by migrants? Do you care?” Greene then told the journalist to stop asking questions.
Ignoring Concerns About U.S. Soldiers’ Safety
When Kelner pressed Greene about the potential danger to U.S. soldiers, following the leaked information, Greene dismissed the concern, stating, “I don’t care about your fake news.” This only fueled the tension between the two, with Greene refusing to answer further questions from Kelner.
U.S. Reporter Steps In
An American journalist at the event then asked Greene for her thoughts on the security risks posed by the leak. Greene responded by saying she wouldn’t answer Kelner’s questions because she didn’t care about the UK network. She shifted the focus to discuss her criticisms of the Biden administration’s policies, particularly on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Blame on the Biden Administration
In her response, Greene placed blame on the Biden administration for opening U.S. borders to what she referred to as “terrorists, cartels, child sex traffickers, people, and drug traffickers.” She also praised former President Donald Trump for his efforts to secure the border and criticized the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Greene Refuses to Take More Questions
After her verbal exchange with the British journalist, Greene held her hand up and walked away from the press conference, refusing to answer further questions. The confrontation quickly went viral on social media, with many criticizing Greene for her aggressive stance and dismissiveness.
Support for Martha Kelner
British TV writer Mick Collins defended journalist Martha Kelner, commending her calm demeanor in contrast to Greene’s aggressive behavior. He expressed support for Kelner, praising her for asking the right questions during a highly charged moment.
Fallout Over Yemen Leak and Military Secrets
The ongoing fallout from the Yemen leak involves the Trump administration’s efforts to manage the situation. The details shared via Signal have sparked a debate over the handling of classified military information. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has denied sending war plans, and Trump’s advisers have insisted that no classified information was leaked. However, many Democrats and former U.S. officials have expressed concerns over the breach of security.
