Thu Mar 27 14:06:45 UTC 2025: **US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene attacks British journalist over Yemen strike leak**
**New York, March 27, 2025** – Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman from Georgia, sparked controversy after she verbally attacked a British journalist during a press conference on Wednesday. The incident stemmed from a question regarding a leaked Signal group chat, revealing sensitive discussions among top US security officials about a planned military strike on Yemen.
The journalist from Sky News attempted to question Greene about the leak, prompting the congresswoman to aggressively demand the journalist’s nationality. Upon learning the journalist was British, Greene launched into a tirade, dismissing the journalist’s question and her network, and telling her to “go back to your country” citing concerns about immigration. Greene also made inflammatory claims about migrants and crime.
The leaked Signal chat, accidentally including the Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffery Goldberg, detailed the planned Yemen strike, including precise launch times provided by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. President Donald Trump has downplayed the leak, claiming the information was not classified. Despite requests from a fellow American journalist to answer the question, Greene refused, stating she would not engage with the British journalist or her network. The incident has drawn considerable criticism and highlights growing tensions around media access and political discourse in the US.
