Marjorie Taylor Greene to UK journalist: 'Why don't you go back to your country'
Mar 26, 2025
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told a Sky News reporter on Wednesday to "go back to your country" as she tried to ask about the recent controversy behind a Signal chat with military plans among the Trump administration's national security officials that included a journalist.
"We don't give
a crap about your opinion and your reporting. Why don't you go back to your country," Greene said, pointing at the journalist who said she was from the United Kingdom.
C-Span cameras captured the interaction between the lawmaker and the reporter who tried to continue her line of questioning.
“You should care about your own borders. Let me tell you something, do you care about people from your country,” Green continued.
“What about all the women that are raped by migrants, do you care?”
In 2022, Greene made similar remarks toward British reporter Siobhan Kennedy, of Channel 4.
During the Wednesday interaction, the Georgia representative tried to resolve tensions by calling on an American journalist who redirected her back to the British reporter’s inquiry.
“I’m not answering her question because I don’t care about her network,” Green said.
She then answered a separate question about the lack of operational security in the Signal chat where information about a U.S. airstrike on the Houthis in Yemen was unknowingly disclosed to The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg.
“You want to know about complete disregard about operational security? You should talk about the Biden administration how they ripped our borders open to terrorists, cartel, child sex trafficking, human trafficking, and drug trafficking across our borders for four years,” Greene said.
“The Trump administration is doing a great job, and I stand by their statements. I stand by their statements. My comment to you is I'm thankful to President Trump that he is leading us out of wars, that he's ending the war in Ukraine where American lives could have been killed if Joe Biden was still president today whether he liked it or not,” she added. ...read more read less
