Jon Stewart Has The Perfect Clapback To Margie Greene’s Latest ‘Godly’ Conspiracy Theories

“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart offered a much-needed antidote to the conspiracy theories being regurgitated by right-wing media outlets and congressional Republicans regarding the solar eclipse that took place Monday across the United States.

Stewart began by tackling the fearmongering that took place on Fox News in connection to the eclipse, where hosts ominously suggested that the four minutes of darkness across Texas could cause havoc at the U.S.-Mexico border, with Fox’s Bill Hemmer saying the eclipse would provide “a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in.”

Stewart countered, “Or they could just wait ’til nighttime.”

“Is there nothing Fox can’t tie to immigration?” he added, wryly mocking: “This here cicada infestation provides perfect cover for Venezuelans.”

And then Stewart turned to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who had been spreading wild scenarios on social media that the eclipse and last week’s earthquake in New Jersey were “signs” that God wanted the nation to “repent.”

“How do you know? How would you know that that is what God meant,” Stewart asked. “Why would God be so obtuse? Why would he do that? Or she? Why would she? Or how crazy would it be if God insisted on they/them?”

Stewart had another question for loose cannons like Greene who love to try and tell us what God expects from us.

“Is this shit really how God works?”

MTG’s Main Squeeze: Eclipse May Lead To ‘Infestation Of Locusts’ And The End Of The World

As the solar eclipse reaches its apex this afternoon across the United States, you may want to keep a close eye on the skies for another site: A swarm of locusts. And those may be followed by the end of the world.

That’s the prediction from Brian Glenn, program director for conservative network Right Wing Broadcasting who also happens to be Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) boyfriend.

Glenn made his comments in a frantic video he posted on Twitter in which he warned, “This might be the last normal weekend we have for some time. I mean, we’ve got this solar eclipse on Monday, this very rare solar eclipse, who knows what the fallout from that will be.”

“Plus, that will be combined with several earthquakes, we’ve already seen a few already. Oh, and why not sprinkle in this infestation of locusts that have been dormant for years and all of sudden will attack mankind,” he added.

“And then throw in Joe Biden trying to get into a war with Eye-ran for whatever reason he wants to do that.

“So on that note, have a great weekend. We’ll see you next week. Or maybe NOT.”

The “locusts” Glenn referenced are actually cicadas. Two broods of the insects will emerge this spring. They are harmless and don’t cause the same destructive threat locusts do.

Glenn’s rant was righteously mocked on social media.

GOP Social Media WTF?!

MT Greene: Friday Earthquake And Monday Eclipse Are God Telling Us To ‘Repent’

Dime store theologian and full-time crackpot Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says she knows why there was a 4.8 magnitude earthquake felt across the East Coast on Friday and the reason there will be a solar eclipse next Monday.

According to Greene, it’s God telling us to repent.

Yep, she actually said that.

Taking to Twitter, Greene proudly declared, “God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come. I pray that our country listens.”

As the note from other Twitter users rightly suggests, the eclipse is a regular phenomenon and earthquakes of varying intensity happen daily worldwide. There’s nothing unique, special, or spiritual about them. And they aren’t punishments from a deity.

Ironically, the epicenter of the earthquake felt in New York City was close to failed former president Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club, which led to endless mockery by others on social media, who also took time to swat down Greene for her attempt to interpret the will of God.

MT Greene’s Boyfriend Says The Eclipse ‘Is A Signal’ That ‘Evil’ Is Destroying America

Brian Glenn is Director of Programming and an on-air host at the conservative Right Wing Broadcasting Network (RSBN), but is probably more well-known as the current boyfriend of highly controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Much like his main squeeze, Glenn is also a Christian extremist who sees anti-God conspiracies and “evil” everywhere he looks, noting on his LinkedIn profile that he is “attempting to glorify the Kingdom of God while promoting patriotism and love of country through entertaining programming that provokes thoughts and emotions.”

So it should probably come as no surprise that Glenn is suggesting the April 8 solar eclipse “is a signal” from God that “evil” is destroying the United States and must be eliminated by a spiritual awakening in the country.

Glenn made those remarks during a broadcast on Tuesday before a campaign appearance in Green Bay, Wisconsin by failed one-term former president Donald Trump.

A Trump supporter at the campaign rally told Glenn it was a “beautiful time to be alive,” which led the host to make his “signal” comment.

“I often say that as much conflict as we have in the world as much pain and sorrow and people are suffering, it’s a great time to be alive because we’re seeing this take place and I think we’re going to see where the largest kind of a spiritual awakening in this country that people are realizing how much evil has creeped into not only our government, but our own personal lives, and it’s destroyed this country,” he said.

Glenn added, “I think the eclipse — I think the eclipse is a signal of that, and we don’t want to get into that.”

Actually, the April 8 solar eclipse is a sign that the moon is passing between the sun and Earth, temporarily blocking our view of the sun. It has no other meaning unless you deliberately try to impose one on an event that has occurred for thousands of years.

Glenn and others on the right seem convinced that every natural phenomenon we encounter is somehow a signal from their God. But if such a deity exists, it’s just as likely that he has merely set the universe in motion and stepped back to see just how badly we can mess up his creation.

As for the “evil” Glenn refers to, he doesn’t need to look any further than the candidate he supports to see a modern manifestation of that malevolent force.

GOP Congressman Calls Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘Idiotic’ For Causing Chaos In The House

Republican New York Congressman Mike Lawler said Sunday that efforts by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to remove Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as House speaker are “idiotic” and have accomplished nothing but creating chaos.

Speaking with CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” Lawler said Greene’s proposed motion to vacate the speaker’s seat is ill-advised and will only cause more problems.

Bash asked Lawler if he believed Greene would formally file the motion to vacate next week.

“I can’t speak for her, obviously,” he said.

“She has introduced it. She has not yet made it privileged but, as I said the day that she introduced it, it’s idiotic and it’s not going to actually help advance the cause that she believes in.”

Lawler added, “In fact, it undermines our House Republican majority. Look, voters enacted a House Republican majority because they wanted a check and balance on the Biden administration. They wanted to stop the reckless out-of-control spending that increased by 5 trillion in just two years and gave us record inflation. They didn’t like the disastrous withdrawal out of Afghanistan, and they saw the disastrous foreign policy decisions that the Biden administration has made when it comes to Iran.”

What Lawler failed to address is the fact that the lunatics are running the asylum in the Republican Party. They support an insurrectionist scumbag who has 91 criminal charges hanging over his head, and they’ve also failed to control the wackos like Greene who have taken over the GOP. Hopefully, they’ll soon be in the minority again and relegated to the back benches of Congress.

Here’s the video of Lawler’s appearance on CNN:
