Marjorie Taylor Greene Peddles Paranoid Conspiracy Theory About Hurricanes: Democrats ‘Can Control The Weather’

According to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), it’s no mistake that Hurricane Helene caused so much damage in the Southeastern United States last week. After all, she claims, Democrats can control the weather and may be planning to use it to steal the 2024 election.

Greene made her absurd accusation on Twitter Thursday, starting with this post:

She followed it with a map to prove her point.

Yes, Mother Nature is conspiring with Democrats to make sure the election goes their way. Who knew she was even registered to vote?

Of course, Greene neglected to address the larger problems of climate change and global warming, both of which are the main contributors to extreme weather events such as hurricanes.

Just last month, the BBC reported:

Firstly, warmer ocean waters mean storms can pick up more energy, leading to higher wind speeds.

Record high sea surface temperatures were a key reason why US scientists forecast an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season for 2024.

The high temperatures are mainly due to long-term greenhouse gas emissions.

Secondly, a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, leading to more intense rainfall.

Climate change made the extreme rainfall from Hurricane Harvey in 2017 around three times more likely, according to one estimate.

Greene also got some brutal (and well-deserved) mockery on social media.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Latest Take On Climate Change Is Laced With Bigotry

During a town hall meeting in her North Georgia district on Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) seemed to suggest that the recent flooding from Hurricane Helene was due to “climate change,” and then seconds later added that migrants seeking refuge in the United States were being allowed into the country under the guise of escaping extreme weather events.

“As a matter of fact, if you all could sit and listen to every detail of our committee hearings,” Greene said. “You would hear them saying that it’s racist not to let these people in.”

“You would hear them saying that they’re coming because of climate change,” she added.

Minutes later, Greene remarked that Democrats should instead focus on climate change here at home.

“Really? Try talking to the people in western North Carolina. Try talking to the people in South and Central and Eastern Georgia. They were affected by the climate.”

A few minutes after that, Greene asked the sparse crowd in attendance who they thought was “really running the White House.”

“If you think it’s Obama, raise your hand,” she said.

Ironically, while Greene was busy trying to make political hay out of the storms that have devastated areas of the South, she wasn’t concerned enough to remain in her home state over the weekend and lend a hand to help victims of the storm. Instead, she was too busy attending a college football game in Alabama and having her photo taken with failed one-term former president Donald Trump, according to HuffPost.

Critics suggested Greene should have at that time been in Georgia assisting with the recovery effort. Some remembered fellow MAGA Republican Ted Cruz’s 2021 trip to Cancun, Mexico, amid a deadly winter storm.

Much like Trump, Margie Greene is only interested in self-promotion. Everyone and everything else is secondary to her ambition and greed.

Margie Greene’s Main Squeeze Mocked For Giving Off ‘Major Karen Vibes’ With Online Restaurant Review

Brian Glenn is an on-air “journalist” for the right-wing Real America’s Voice network, and he’s absolutely furious that a restaurant refused him multiple visits to their salad bar.

Glenn — who is also known as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) boyfriend — got very upset with Jason’s Deli in Wilmington, North Carolina, which he visited while attending a campaign rally for failed one-term president Donald Trump on Saturday.

“When did Jason’s Deli start just doing one trip to the salad bar?” Glenn whined in an online video. “Just one. It’s a big plate, a big bowl. But just one time. They told me it’s after COVID. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to Jason’s Deli and I have gotten multiple salads, over and over and over. Anyway, let me know what you think.”

That was all it took for social media to light up with mockery, with some noting that Glenn’s post gave off “major Karen vibes.” Here’s a sampling of the online reaction.

Congressman Calls J.D. Vance The ‘Hatched’ Child Of Trump And Marjorie Taylor Greene

Sen J.D. Vance (R-OH) could soon be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office, and that’s a terrifying prospect, according to Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), who called Vance “the baby of MAGA and QAnon” during an appearance on MSNBC.

Speaking with host Nicolle Wallace, Goldman noted that just minutes after failed former president Donald Trump was shot in Pennsylvania, Vance was on social media blaming President Joe Biden and Democrats for what the FBI is calling a failed assassination attempt.

“I mean, it’s so extreme, you know, it’s like if Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump got together and hatched something, and that’s J.D. Vance,” Goldman explained. “It’s insane — some of his views. His extremism on abortion — no exception for rape or incest. He has said he would not have certified the last election and will not guarantee that he will certify this election. He has overtly supported Vladimir Putin and Russia in his effort to take over the democratic country of Ukraine.”

The New York Democrat added that Vance is a “neophyte and a novice who has flip-flopped over the last several years after being a NeverTrumper and calling him the potential next American Hitler to now selling his soul so that he can rise the ranks, and Donald Trump loves that.”

J.D. Vance is indeed a member of the extreme right wing of the Republican Party. He has suggested that women should stay in abusive marriages for the sake of their children and made it clear that he thinks all abortions should be banned in the United States, even if a pregnancy was the result of rape or incest.

In other words, Vance is the perfect running mate for Donald Trump because both of them are direct threats to the American republic.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Slammed For Saying Democrats Are ‘Flat Out Evil’ And Tried To ‘Murder’ Trump

Despite calls from both Democrats and Republicans to tamp down the incendiary rhetoric that may have contributed to the attempted assassination of disgraced former president Donald Trump, GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) decided she would escalate the issue by saying on Twitter that Democrats are “flat out evil” and attempted to “murder” Trump.

“We are in a battle between GOOD and EVIL,” Greene said over the weekend. “The Democrats are the party of pedophiles, murdering the innocent unborn, violence, and bloody, meaningless, endless wars.”

She then added, “They want to lock up their political opponents, and terrorize innocent Americans who would tell the truth about it.”

“The Democrat party is flat out evil, and yesterday they tried to murder President Trump.”

With reports now coming from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee that Trump will call for “unity” when he speaks on Thursday evening, Greene’s posting was not well-received on social media, where she was pelted with derision.
