Marjorie Taylor Greene clashes with British journalist over JD Vance issue

An interview with far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Tuesday took a tense turn when Greene was asked to comment on a quote from Republican candidate Donald Trump’s newly announced vice presidential running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance.

Just as Greene was expressing her enthusiasm for Vance’s election and welcoming his change of heart toward Trump after earlier harsh criticism, Jo Crawford of the Times of London recalled Vance’s comment that the United Kingdom may be the first “truly Islamist” country with nuclear weapons following the center-left Labour Party’s election victory earlier this month.

“Doesn’t this paint a bleak picture of relations with Britain?” asked Crawford Greene.

An immediately incensed Greene went on to talk about Democrats “demonizing” Trump and Republicans like herself, baselessly claiming they were somehow responsible for the attempt on Trump’s life over the weekend.

When asked for evidence to support her claim, Greene replied, “Shame on you. Shame on you.”

Greene later called Crawford “ridiculous,” “our country’s problem,” and said she had to “put up with the most unbelievable nonsense because little liars like you take your job and turn it into political activism. Your job is the press. You’re supposed to report the news. Not lie.”

Greene fended off another attempt to ask questions. “No, you are not allowed to ask any more questions. I am done with you because you are the reason our country is divided, (…) you are the reason President Trump was almost assassinated.”

When asked again for evidence to support her claims, Greene replied, “No, no. You’re done. You’re done. Go back.”

Greene shared the video on X, formerly Twitter, and called Crawford “one of many responsible for creating such deep division and hatred.”

In a video the Times later shared on YouTube, Crawford recalled the “heated” exchange and how Greene essentially ignored her question about Vance and simply “kept talking about what the Democrats had said.”

Last month, during an interview on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “7.30,” Greene panicked every time host Sarah Ferguson tried to ask questions about Trump.

And in March, Greene told former BBC news anchor Emily Maitlis to “fuck off” after Maitlis pointed out that Greene had a history of spreading conspiracy theories.
