Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted by Republicans over weather conspiracies: "Looney Tunes!"
Washington DC - MAGA Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is being criticized by her Republican colleagues as she continues to push insane weather conspiracy theories.
Last week, MTG shared a post on X insisting that Democrats are behind the recent string of devastating hurricanes in an effort to sway the presidential election, claiming that "they can control the weather."
To this day, the Georgia representative continues to push her bizarre claim, all the while garnering heavy backlash – even from members of her own party.
In an interview with MSNBC, Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz outlined "dangerous" conspiracy theories being spread in his state but said MTG's comments took things to a new level.
"If there are aliens watching, and they're looking at all of this, they can definitely confirm there is no intelligent life in Congress with Greene talking about a weather machine being used for politics," Moskowitz said.
He went on to add that he doesn't see any political benefit to her rhetoric but said there is "a stupidity benefit to her and people that want to listen to her."
Fellow Florida Rep. Carlos Giménez – who is a Republican – shared a similar sentiment, arguing that Greene needs to have her "head examined."
In a statement to Axios, an unnamed GOP representative described her beliefs as "Looney Tunes" and claimed disgust over her recent rhetoric is "widespread among House Republicans."
The danger of Marjorie Taylor Greene's rhetoric
Since she was elected in 2020, Greene has become well-known for her penchant for conspiracy theories.
She has claimed "Jewish space lasers" caused wildfires in California and recently called on Americans to "repent" after a natural disaster, which she deemed "signs" from God.
But her latest comments come as hundreds of people across several southeastern states have died as a result of the weather catastrophes.
The White House and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have been forced to combat disinformation spread by Greene, presidential candidate Donald Trump, and others who claim the government is ignoring those areas, and instead "using disaster relief funds to house illegals."
On Thursday, during a briefing at the White House, President Joe Biden called out Greene, describing her rhetoric as "beyond ridiculous" and "so stupid," adding, "It's gotta stop."
