Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed for conspiracies about Baltimore bridge collapse
Washington DC - Far-right Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene took to social media to express her extreme skepticism about the recent Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, and it didn't go over so well.
On Tuesday, MTG shared a time-lapsed CCTV video that shows the moments leading up to a container ship smashing into the bridge on Tuesday, causing it to collapse into Baltimore's Patapsco River.
The Georgia Representative called for "a serious investigation" into the tragedy.
"Is this an intentional attack or an accident?" she wrote.
Her theory came hours after the incident and in spite of confirmation that the ship had lost control after suffering an unexpected power failure.
X eventually added a community note to MTG's bizarre post, pointing out that Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said there was "absolutely no indication" of a terrorist attack or that it had been "done on purpose" for any reason.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore also confirmed the ship's crew sent a mayday out prior to the crash.
Throughout her tenure in congress, MTG has become well-known for her penchant for sharing conspiracy theories.
The internet rips MTG apart for making a conspiracy out of everything
Many users in the comment section on X were not at all impressed with her theory about the bridge, with many calling her out for turning it into a conspiracy despite the facts being readily available.
One of the harshest criticisms came from David Simon, the creator of the hit HBO show The Wire, who called MTG a "complete submoronic pratfall of a human being."
Greene's sentiment was also shared by fellow conspiracy lovers Alex Jones and Andrew Tate, who both posted the same clip and claimed the incident was "deliberate."
