The Georgia Republican told Martha Kelner of U.K. broadcaster Sky News that âwe donât give a crap about your opinion,â and urged the reporter to âgo back to your countryâ during her unhinged rant on Wednesday.
Taylor Greene spoke to the media as she chaired a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee hearing where she accused NPR and PBS of using federal funds to push left-wing propaganda.
Things turned fraught when Kelner asked about The Atlantic magazineâs revelation that its editor-in-chief was accidentally included in a text message group detailing imminent airstrikes in Yemen.
As Kelner started to ask a question, Taylor Greene interjected and demanded to know: âWait, what country are you from?â

After Kelner, the broadcasterâs U.S. correspondent, told her she was from the U.K., Taylor Greene let it rip.
She said, âWe donât give a crap about your opinion and your reporting. Why donât you go back to your country? We have a major migrant problem…you should care about your own borders.â

After telling the reporter âI donât care about your fake news,â Taylor Greene asked another journalist for a ârelevant questionâ and appeared pleased with her choice.
âThis is an American journalist,â Taylor Greene announced, before the reporter acted in solidarity and asked the congresswoman to answer the British journalistâs question.
âIâm not answering her question because I donât care about her network,â Taylor Greene emphasized.
Taylor Greene previously told a British interviewer to âfuck off.â
