British TV host Piers Morgan has long been a vocal admirer of Donald Trump and his presidency, but that doesn't appear to extend to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who spoke on his show Tuesday evening in the UK.

The debate began with Morgan bringing up accusations against Greene that she purports to support Israel while being anti-Semitic. He specifically mentioned the "Jewish Space Laser" conspiracy that she's been tied to — blaming them for Californian wildfires.

Greene responded it was "fake news."

"I'm reading it right here," Morgan said on TalkTV, holding up a tablet showing her Facebook post. The piece blames the California wildfires on PG&E's relationship with the Rothschilds and a space laser. The Rothschilds are an Ashkenazi Jewish family that have become associated with anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.

Greene maintained she never made the accusation.

Another battle surfaced over the Jan.6 attack, which Greene attempted to downplay, and it led to a conversation about the 2020 election. Greene maintained over and over that the election was stolen and ballots were fraudulent.

"Prove it. Prove it in court," Morgan shot back.

Morgan argued that if there was any real election fraud, then the numerous court cases and investigations would have uncovered it.

Trump's campaign secretly hired two different firms to find election fraud. None did. The pro-Trump Cyber Ninjas also didn't find any election fraud. Another GOP donor in Pennsylvania hired a data firm to investigate fraud in one county. No fraud was found in that case.

When Morgan promoted the interview on social media he pointed out, "See what happens when I tell her the 2020 wasn’t stolen, as she still absurdly claims."

'Save us the outrage, sweetie': Karoline Leavitt mocked after pearl-clutching moment

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was roundly criticized on Thursday for her pearl-clutching moment in front of the press during the daily briefing.

Leavitt complained that some protesters had flipped off Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and that they had written profane language on broken-down federal vehicles. Her comments come after cameras captured President Donald Trump flipping off a worker who called him a "pedophile protector" during a recent tour of the Ford Motor plant in Detroit.

That worker was later fired from his job. A GoFundMe was started for him and raised more than $800,000, according to reports.

“Look at this vehicle. It says ‘F ICE,’" Leavitt said, pointing to a photograph. "You have these individuals who are putting their middle finger proudly so at the camera."

Leavitt's comments were roundly mocked online, The Daily Beast reported.

“Save us the outrage, sweetie,” The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican group, wrote to Leavitt on X.

"Wait until she learns about the 1st Amendment …" California Gov. Gavin Newsom's press office posted on X.

"Didn’t Donald Trump give his middle finger to a UAW union worker 48 hours ago," Democratic political strategist Adam Parkhomenko posted on X.

MAGA ICE deputy quits to run for Congress against 40-year Dem incumbent

A deputy director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is quitting her job to mount a bid to become a member of Congress.

Madison Sheahan, 28, announced Thursday she's resigning to launch a congressional bid in Ohio's 9th District, challenging Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who's held the seat since 1983, Notus reported.

In a campaign video, Sheahan branded herself a "Trump conservative" who is "tired of watching my hard-working family, friends and neighbors pay more and get ignored." She declared: "Real change means real leadership, and I've done it before."

Sheahan's timing is notable, as she's bolting from ICE as the agency faces immense scrutiny over officer-involved shootings this week that left 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother Renee Nicole Good dead and at least three others injured.

Despite new polling showing a plurality of Americans now want to abolish ICE, Sheahan is leaning into her immigration enforcement record.

“In less than one year at ICE, I’ve stopped more illegal immigration than Marcy Kaptur has in her 43 years in Washington,” Sheahan proclaimed in her campaign announcement video. “When the call came to help President Trump clean up the dangerous immigration mess as deputy director of ICE, I answered the call.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blessed her deputy's decision, saying Sheahan "will be a great defender of freedom when she goes to Congress."

Sheahan faces a crowded Republican primary with five other candidates, including four-term state Rep. Derek Merrin, who quipped about welcoming Ohio's "new resident" to the race.

“We hope she decides to stay in Ohio for the general election to vote for Derek to defeat Marcy Kaptur,” a spokesperson for his campaign told the outlet.

Kaptur, who serves on the powerful Budget and Appropriations committees, is running unopposed in the Democratic primary. Her seat is considered vulnerable, as she's one of just 13 House Democrats in districts Trump won in 2024.

Ex-Proud Boys leader claims he's getting death threats over media's 'stupid troll'

A former Proud Boys leader said he has received death threats after reports that he joined ICE, according to a Newsweek report Thursday.

Enrique Tarrio, who previously led the far-right, male-only militia group, told the outlet he was considering legal action after media outlets reported on an alleged database leak and published his name. He said he was not employed by ICE, although he said he would "love" to be a federal agent and could "do with the $50,000," referring to the bonus ICE agents are promised when they sign on.

"I've been getting a lot of f------ death threats because of this stupid troll, and it's not just a troll: The media—I'm using that term loosely—the media outlet NowThis actually went ahead and published like this, this campaign that says that I'm some sort of f------ ace agent without even asking me, without even contacting me for a comment," Tarrio said.

Tarrio alleged that Telemundo was also among the outlets that published the report about him joining the federal agency and did not contact him, saying, "and they have my number, they could have just called me."

"I'm going to take a look at my legal options," Tarrio said.

He told Newsweek that he was in civil court on Thursday and dealing with a civil lawsuit against the United States that he stated was moving "in a successful manner" and prompted him to consider further action against media groups that allegedly published the leaked information.

"If I'm suing the United States of America, it's very easy for me to sue media outlets that decided to publish this," Tarrio said.

The Proud Boys played a prominent role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, and Tarrio was convicted in May 2023 of seditious conspiracy for his role in organizing and coordinating the group's involvement in the attack. Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison, making him one of the most severely punished participants in the Capitol riot, as prosecutors demonstrated that he and other Proud Boys leadership planned and coordinated the violent breach of the Capitol building with the intent to oppose the authority of the federal government.

Tarrio's sentence was pardoned by President Donald Trump, after Trump issued a sweeping pardon on his first day in office of more than 1,500 people. Earlier this month, Tarrio confirmed that he was working as an FBI informant in 2013 and allegedly helped to bring down a sex trafficking ring in Mexico, Newsweek reported.
