'Not that smart': MTG trolled for sharing fake Supreme Court barricade video ahead of Trump immunity case

WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene is being trolled brutally after she fell for a fake viral SOTUS barricade video and ended up sharing it on her official X account.

This happened as a misleading story was promoted by several right-wing accounts on X on Monday, June 17, claiming that barriers had been erected outside the Supreme Court in anticipation of its decision on former President Donald Trump's broad claims of immunity from prosecution, as per the Daily Beast.

In the now-deleted post, Greene shared the video with a caption that read, "This could be for the Presidential Immunity case later this week."

Marjorie Taylor Greene falls for fake viral SCOTUS barricade videos

Benny Johnson, a Turning Point USA writer, posted the 22-second video clip depicting barriers encircling the high court in a since-deleted post.

As the video gained popularity, it quickly appeared on several right-wing accounts. The video shared by @dom_lucre garnered over one million views.

According to Daily Beast, the caption of the now-deleted post read, "BREAKING NEWS: A fence is being installed at the U.S. Supreme Court. The last time this happened was prior to the Roe v Wade decision."

However, Daniel Barnes, an NBC News court reporter, shared a picture of the court taken from across the street on Monday night, making it quite evident that no fencing or barrier of that kind had been installed.

Moreover, the video was taken in 2022, following the release of the conservative majority court's draft ruling that reversed Roe v Wade. Mitchell Miller, a Capitol Hill reporter for the Washington, DC radio station WTOP, shot the footage on May 5.

Internet rips Greene as she falls for fake viral SCOTUS barricade video

Several people on the internet ridiculed Marjorie Taylor Greene as she fell for the fake SOTUS barricade video and shared it on her official X account.

Some online comments read: "Remember MTG is not that smart and never will be. She knowingly makes things up and is proud of her falsehood information. She has no place in congress" and "If it's bogus MTG will fall for it, unless of course she started it."

A user wrote, "She has accomplished absolutely nothing during her tenure, and believes that she is entitled to a raise!", while another added, "My cats leave deposits in their litter box everyday that are smarter then her."

A person also stated, "Greene falls for any ridiculous conspiracy. Even the one where she is the chosen one to be trump's VP candidate", whereas one mentioned, "Her elevator quit going up to the higher levels a long time ago. She will lie about anything if she thinks it will promote her or Trump. Truth, honesty, morality and ethics have no place in her world."
