Marjorie Taylor Greene responded with a very blunt “f**k off’ when a British journalist and former BBC anchor Emily Maitlis accused her of being a “conspiracy theorist” while asking her about “Jewish space lasers.”
The brutal exchange took place during yesterday’s Super Tuesday primary results when Maitlis began asking Greene about the presidential election before abruptly accusing her of being a “conspiracy theorist.”
Watch
"Emily, you're a conspiracy theorist… We like the truth."

“And can you tell me why so many people that support Donald Trump love conspiracy theories, including yourself, he seems to attract lots of conspiracy theorists,” said Maitlis.
Greene fired back, telling Maitlis that the biggest peddlers of conspiracy theories are the left and the mainstream media.
“What about Jewish space lasers? Tell us about Jewish space lasers,” asked Maitlis.
“Why don’t you go talk about Jewish space lasers and really why don’t you f**k off? How about that?” Greene fired back.
Maitlis turned to the camera with an unbearable smug look on her face.
The reference to Jewish space lasers was about MTG suggesting in 2018 that the California wildfires were not caused by climate change amid reports from residents who witnessed saw lasers or blue beams of light during the fires. However, Greene never called them “Jewish space lasers.”
The media outlet Maitlis works for posted the clip as some sort of war trophy.
However, as noted by many on X, the clip exposed the blatant media bias.
Deeply embarrassing and unprofessional performance from Emily Matlis here. She should be ashamed of herself. https://t.co/LZdfvmlv0Q

I'm no fan of Marjorie Taylor Greene, but I suspect quite a few of us would like to tell @Maitlis to 'f*ck off'. https://t.co/ylPct7RFVQ

The news comes as Nikki Haley announced she will suspend her presidential campaign after her catastrophic failure on Super Tuesday.
Haley said she would not endorse Trump and would demand that the former president earn the support of the Democrats, Independents, and RINOs who backed her.
