Marjorie Taylor Greene, an incendiary Republican congresswoman, told a British TV reporter to ‘go back to your country’ after being challenged over US gun laws.
The Georgia representative was infuriated by questions posed by Channel 4’s Siobhan Kennedy during a press conference held by the Second Amendment caucus – a group of Republicans opposed to the imposition of any gun restrictions fire.
With emotions still running high after last month’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which claimed the lives of 19 children and two adults, Ms Kennedy challenged lax US gun laws.
“We don’t have guns in the UK, it’s true, but we don’t have mass shootings either. And our children are not afraid to go to school,” she said.
Furious, Ms Taylor Greene shot back: ‘You’ve got mass stab wounds, ma’am. You have all kinds of murders and you have laws against it.
The reporter quickly replied, “Not like the rates here.”
Still angry, Ms Taylor Greene retorted: ‘Well you can go back to your country and worry about your lack of arms.’
