Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) offered her take on White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s Friday briefing and wildly called for the foreign press to be removed from the briefing room after a reporter with a French accent caught her attention.

Greene shared a post from the briefing from a MAGA influence with over a million followers who praised Leavitt, “Dear Lord these reporters haven’t got the memo yet. Karoline Leavitt is not here to play around. She was pressed about DEI in the aviation field and her answer was PERFECT!”

The influencer then quoted Leavitt saying, “When you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones, do you pray that your plane lands safely and gets you to your destination or do pray that your pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer to that question.”

Greene also gave Leavitt props and wrote she “is doing a wonderful job! Bringing sanity and common sense and throwing it in the faces of the nasty legacy media.”

The Georgia Republican, however, then turned her attention to the accent of the reporter who asked the question in the clip.

“How about that accent from that reporter? I think we need to throw out all the foreign press! American media first!” Greene wrote in all seriousness.
