'They can control the weather': Marjorie Taylor Greene's latest doozy

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia-based conspiracy theorist who moonlights as a congresswoman, was at it again on Thursday, posting this semi-cryptic message on X: “Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”

The “Jewish space laser” aficionado’s claim about a nebulous “they” controlling the weather came only a few hours after she posted a map purporting to show the damage that Hurricane Helene wrought on predominantly conservative voting areas. 

Not that it needs saying, but Democratic-leaning areas were ravaged too. As the Associated Press noted on Sept. 30 regarding just one area, “Asheville, [North Carolina,] which was devastated by the storm, is solidly Democratic, as is much of Buncombe County, which surrounds it.”

As of Friday afternoon, Helene has claimed over 200 lives.
