Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told Emily Maitlis to “fuck off” after the British journalist questioned her about her conspiracy claim that Jewish space lasers started the California wildfires.
Maitlis confronted the Republican congresswoman at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago headquarters on Super Tuesday after the former president scored big victories in several states.
The News Agents podcaster first asked Greene, 49, what message the GOP had for Trump rival Nikki Haley after Tuesday’s results and who the former president should choose as his running mate.
He then asked why “so many people who support Donald Trump love conspiracy theories, including yourself,” adding, “He seems to attract a lot of conspiracy theorists.”
Greene, apparently frustrated by the line of questioning, argued that “we like the truth” and accused Maitlis, the left and the media of “spreading more conspiracy theories” than Trump supporters.
Maitlis responded by asking, “What about Jewish space lasers?”, but Greene shut down the conversation by telling him to “go talk about Jewish space lasers and fuck off.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told Emily Maitlis to “fuck off” Tuesday night after the British journalist questioned her about her conspiracy claim that Jewish space lasers started the California wildfires.

Maitlis stopped Greene after Trump scored big Super Tuesday victories in Maine, Oklahoma, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Minnesota and Massachusetts.
He asked the Georgia Republican what the “message to Nikki Haley tonight” should be.
Greene responded: “We’ve been encouraging her to drop out of school and support President Trump and I think tonight is the clear message that President Trump is the clear favorite.” He is the winner in our Republican primary and it is time for Nikki Haley to step down and support him.”
Maitlis also asked if Trump was “closer to choosing his vice president” and if Greene “should be on that list.”
‘That’s the question everyone is asking and no, I don’t think Nikki Haley should be on the list. But, of course, President Trump will choose who he wants as vice president,” Greene said.
Maitlis doubled down and asked again: ‘Would you like to be on that list?’
Greene told her that Trump has a “long list” and that she would support him in “any way he asked me,” but added: “I can assure you it won’t be Nikki Haley.”
Maitlis asked why “so many people who support Donald Trump love conspiracy theories, including yourself,” adding: “He seems to attract a lot of conspiracy theorists.”
Greene, apparently frustrated by the line of questioning, argued that “we like the truth” and accused Maitlis, the left and the media of “spreading more conspiracy theories” than Trump supporters.

The Camp Fire in California in November 2018 killed 85 people and was caused by faulty equipment from Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Greene connected PG&E to a company she said made space lasers and also to the former Democratic governor of California.
The journalist then questioned Greene about why there were so many apparent conspiracy theorists in Trump’s party, claiming that the congresswoman was among their ranks.
‘Well, let me tell you, you are a conspiracy theorist and the left and the media spread more conspiracy theories. We like “the truth.” We like to support our Constitution, our freedoms and America first,” Greene responded as he attempted to walk away.
But Maitlis interrupted and asked: ‘What about Jewish space lasers? Tell us about Jewish space lasers.
Greene repeatedly said ‘we’re done here’ as he tried to stop the interview, before adding: ‘Why don’t you talk about Jewish space lasers and why don’t you go fuck yourself?’
Maitlis’ line of questioning arose from a Facebook post Greene wrote in November 2018, now deleted, in which she said she believed California’s deadliest wildfire was potentially caused by space lasers that were connected to the Rothschilds and to former Governor Jerry Brown to clear the way for a high-speed rail system.
The publication details his views on how the devastating Camp Fire, which killed 85 people, began, saying “there are too many coincidences to ignore.”
Greene attempted to connect the Pacific Gas and Electric Company – whose faulty equipment caused the fire – through one of its board members to Rothschild Inc., in an anti-Semitic whistleblower.
The cause of the fire is not a mystery as PG&E pleaded guilty and agreed to pay more than $25 billion in damages.
Trump and Biden had a good night but each suffered a surprise defeat
Trump delivered his speech in the golden splendor of Mar-a-Lago’s Great Hall
Meanwhile, Trump said on Tuesday that Nov. 5 would be the most important day in American history as he vowed to rebuild America after what he said were three years of decline under President Joe Biden.
Under the chandeliers and gilded ceilings of the ballroom of his palatial Mar-a-Lago home, the former president was feted by family and would-be courtiers as he inched closer to securing the Republican presidential nomination.
The audience at the Florida residence-turned-private club was enthralled as the former president took the stage, with Trump focused on his imminent coronation as the man who will face Biden in November’s general election.
“This is an incredible group of people,” he told the crowd of supporters, donors and party officials. “We have tremendously talented people in this room, including politicians who have helped me from the beginning.”
Trump said there has “never been anything as conclusive” as the primary results.
Trump did not even mention his rival’s name (in contrast to his victory speech in New Hampshire when he attacked her), but instead continued his pivot toward the presidential election and launched new attacks on Biden.
Trump was watched by family members. From left to right: Eric Trump, Lara Trump, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr. Tiffany Trump is on the far right but there was no sign of Melania.
“November 5 will go down in history as the most important day in the history of our country,” he said of the presidential election.
‘We are not respected right now, our country is known as a joke. It’s a joke.
“Other leaders…can’t believe what happened to us because three years ago we were by far the most respected country in the world.”
However, Haley is now expected to mull whether polling at 30 percent in a handful of states is enough to continue her campaign.
