Despite bipartisan praise for the killing of Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri on Monday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) couldn’t resist going on Twitter this morning and suggesting that the entire thing had been faked to help bolster Democratic candidates in the upcoming midterm election.
Monday evening, President Joe Biden went on national television to announce Zawahiri’s death, telling Americans:
“He carved a trail of murder and violence against American citizens, American service members, American diplomats, and American interests. Now, justice has been delivered. And this terrorist leader is no more.”
Rather than applauding the death of a known terrorist mastermind, however, Greene went on social media and began belching out one lie after another.
Greene was quickly swatted down by others on Twitter.
