ABritish journalist was told to ‘go back to your country’ by Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene when she challenged the politician on America’s gun laws.
The Republican Representative for Georgia lashed out at Channel 4’s Washington correspondent Siobhan Kennedy after she questioned Taylor Greene on America’s gun control at a press conference.
Ms Greene, 48, told the room it was her party’s job to ‘defend the Second Amendment’.
Challanging the Republican on the validity of the legislation, Siobhan pointed out that the UK doesn’t ‘have mass shootings’ or the Second Amendment.
She said: ‘We don’t have guns in the UK, that is true, but we don’t have mass shootings either. And our children aren’t scared to go to school.’
Ms Greene had stepped away from the microphone when the Siobhan made the comment and quickly became aggressive saying: ‘You have mass stabbings, lady. You have all kinds of murder and you’ve got laws against that.’
‘Not like the rates here,’ Siobhan responded.
‘Well, you can go back to your country and worry about your no guns,’ Ms Greene shot back. ‘We like our guns here.’
