Extremist tells British interviewer ‘you’re a conspiracy theorist’ and dismisses her over ‘Jewish space lasers’ question
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.
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?
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.
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]
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?
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).
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"
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
