US Lawmaker's Controversial Response to UK Reporter on Yemen

Tense Exchange: US Lawmaker’s Remarks on Yemen Leak

​During a press conference on March 27, 2025, U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene told British Sky News reporter Martha Kelner to “go back to your country” after being questioned about a group chat leak involving U.S. officials discussing military strikes in Yemen.

The exchange occurred when Kelner inquired about reports that The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to a Signal chat where senior aides, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, discussed sensitive military operations. Greene dismissed the questioning, expressing disinterest in foreign opinions on U.S. affairs and criticizing the U.K. for its own issues.

The incident has garnered significant attention, highlighting tensions between the media and political figures regarding transparency and accountability in government communications. The broader context involves concerns over the handling of classified information, as the accidental inclusion of a journalist in a secure chat raised questions about operational security within the administration.
