Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told Emily Maitlis to “fuck off” after the British journalist questioned her about her conspiracy claim that Jewish space lasers caused the California wildfires.
Maitlis confronted the Republican congresswoman at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago headquarters on Super Tuesday, after the former president scored major victories in several states.
The News Agents podcaster first asked Greene, 49, what message the Republican Party had for Trump challenger Nikki Haley. Tuesday’s results and who the former president should choose as his running mate.
She then asked why “so many people who support Donald Trump are into conspiracy theories, including yourself,” adding, “He seems to attract a lot of conspiracy theorists.”
Greene, apparently frustrated by the series of questions, argued “we love the truth” and accused Maitlis, the left and the media of “spreading more conspiracy theories” than Trump’s supporters.
Maitlis hit back and asked ‘what about Jewish space lasers?’, but Greene ended the conversation by telling her to ‘go talk about Jewish space lasers and ‘get lost’.

Maitlis stopped Greene after Trump scored big Super Tuesday victories in Maine, Oklahoma, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Minnesota and Massachusetts.
She asked the Georgia Republican what the “message to Nikki Haley should be tonight.”
Greene responded, “We encouraged her to resign and support President Trump, and I think the clear message tonight is that President Trump is the clear frontrunner. He is the winner of our Republican primary and it is time for Nikki Haley to drop out and support him.”
Maitlis also asked whether Trump was “closer to picking his vice president” and whether 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 whoever he wants for vice president,” Greene said.
Maitlis doubled down and asked again, “Do you want to be on that list?”
Greene told her that Trump has a “long list” and that she would support Trump in “any way he would ask me,” but added, “I can assure you it won’t be Nikki Haley.”
Maitlis asked why “so many people who support Donald Trump are into conspiracy theories, including yourself,” adding: “He seems to attract a lot of conspiracy theorists.”

The Camp Fire in California in November 2018 killed 85 people and was caused by faulty Pacific Gas and Electric Company equipment. Greene connected PG&E to a company she said made space lasers, as well as the former Democratic governor of California
The journalist then asked Greene why there were so many apparent conspiracy theorists in Trump’s party, claiming that the congressman was among their ranks.
“Well, let me tell you, you are a conspiracy theorist and the left and the media are spreading more conspiracy theories. We love ‘the truth’. We would like to support our Constitution, our freedoms and America first,” Greene replied as she tried to walk away.
But Maitlis interrupted and asked, “What about Jewish space lasers?” Tell us about Jewish space lasers.”
Greene repeatedly said “we’re all done here” as she tried to stop the interview, before adding, “Why don’t you talk about Jewish space lasers and why don’t you hit the road?”
Maitlis’ questions stemmed from a since-deleted Facebook post Greene wrote in November 2018, in which she said she believed California’s deadliest wildfire may have been caused by space lasers linked to the Rothschilds and former Gov. Jerry Brown to fuel the to clear the way for a high fire. -speed rail system.
The post set out her thoughts on how the devastating Camp Fire started, which killed 85 people. She said, “There are too many coincidences to ignore.”
Greene tried to link the Pacific Gas and Electric Company – whose faulty equipment caused the fire – to Rothschild Inc. through one of its board members, using an anti-Semitic dog whistle.
The cause of the fire is no mystery, as PG&E pleaded guilty to its responsibility and agreed to pay out more than $25 billion in damages.
Trump and Biden both had good nights, but each suffered a surprising defeat

Meanwhile, Trump said on Tuesday that November 5 would be the most important day in American history as he vowed to rebuild America after what he said was three years of decline under President Joe Biden.
Under the chandeliers and gilded ceilings in the ballroom of his palatial Mar-a-Lago home, the former president was feted by family and future courtiers as he edged closer to securing the Republican presidential nomination.
The crowd at the Florida residence-turned-private-club was thrilled as the former president took the stage, while Trump focused on his upcoming coronation as the man who would 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 some incredibly talented people in this room, including political people who have helped me from the beginning.”
Trump said there had “never been anything as compelling” as the primary results.
Trump did not even mention his challenger’s name (unlike his victory speech in New Hampshire when he railed against her), but instead continued his pivot to the presidential election and launched new salvos at Biden.

“November 5 will go down as the single most important day in the history of our country,” he said of the presidential election.
“We are not being respected right now. Our country is known as a joke. It is 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 question whether polling at 30 percent in a handful of states is enough to continue her campaign.
