Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was spotted celebrating Donald Trump’s success on Super Tuesday at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Among other Republicans, Greene praised Trump, hailing him as the only candidate capable of defeating Joe Biden in the upcoming November elections.
During her interaction with reporters at Mar-a-Lago, Greene was asked about Republican contender Nikki Haley, who only won the Vermont Republican primary. Greene expressed her support for Trump and urged Haley to drop out of the race to support the former president. She emphasized Trump’s dominance in the Republican primary and urged fellow Republicans to rally behind him.
When questioned about her potential inclusion on Trump’s vice president list, Greene avoided directly answering but reiterated her unwavering support for Trump in any capacity he deems fit.
Confrontation with Journalist Emily Maitlis
However, Greene’s mood shifted when confronted by British journalist Emily Maitlis about the prevalence of conspiracy theories among Trump supporters. Greene labeled Maitlis a “conspiracy theorist” herself, deflecting the question by accusing the left and media of spreading more conspiracy theories. She emphasized her allegiance to truth, the Constitution, and American values.
Maitlis persisted, referencing Greene’s controversial remarks about “Jewish space lasers,” referring to a now-deleted Facebook post where Greene blamed a wildfire on a supposed space laser operated by the Rothschild family, invoking antisemitic conspiracy tropes.
Greene became visibly enraged, dismissing Maitlis and telling her to leave in response to the question about Jewish space lasers. The exchange highlighted Greene’s contentious history with conspiracy theories and her confrontational approach to addressing criticism.
Trump and Biden Lead the Pack
In the aftermath of Super Tuesday, both Donald Trump and Joe Biden emerged as the frontrunners for a potential rematch in the 2024 presidential election. Trump secured victories in 12 out of 13 states, accumulating significant Republican delegates across various regions, including California, Texas, North Carolina, and Virginia.
Despite losing the Vermont primary to Nikki Haley, Trump’s widespread success solidified his position as a dominant figure within the Republican Party. Meanwhile, Jason Palmer’s victory over Biden in the American Samoa caucuses showcased some diversity in the primary results.
As the political landscape takes shape, Trump and Biden inch closer to a potential showdown in November, setting the stage for a highly anticipated rematch between the two political heavyweights.
