When U.S. Correspondent Kelner decided to chip-in all hell broke loose.

‘What country are you from?’ Greene asked as she rolled her eyes.

Greene continued her rant: ‘Okay, we don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting.

She tried to question Greene: ‘Do you care about American lives being put at risk?’
But the Trump support screamed back: ‘I don’t care about your fake news.’
Greene then turned her attention to an American reporter, who wanted get an answer to Kelner’s question.
MTG refused to be drawn on this however, and so the American asked a similar question about the Signal chat scandal.

Questions have been asked about why President Donald Trump’s national security team was sharing sensitive information in an unsecure manner.
Once Greene was probed on this again, she launched another furious reply: ‘You want to know about complete disregard about operational security?
‘You should talk about the Biden administration and how they ripped our borders open to terrorists, cartel, child sex trafficking, human trafficking, and drug trafficking across our borders for four years.
Greene similarly told a British journalist to ‘go back to your country,’ in 2022.
