A US Congresswoman has made a number of Brits giddy with anticipation after she told Katie Hopkins she would be welcomed in America.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has recently been called out for repeated endorsements of political violence and extremism, warmed to her British equivalent during an interview this month.
The footage, shared on social media by Rex Chapman, shows the two outspoken figures bonding over the storming of the US Capitol, for which the Congresswomen says she has “no regrets” over.
She also said she would love to trade her for “some of our white people here that have no appreciation for our country”. To which an emotional Hopkins responded, “thank you”.
They're perfect for each other. #bigots #racists https://t.co/fZeautTxpG

We like to support the use of £2000 of public funds to export Katie Hopkins ?

Although I'm afraid the US might never forgive us.
Most welcome ☺️
