Marjorie Taylor Greene's conspiracy theories: All wild claims GOP lawmaker has made over the years
Complete list of conspiracy theories Marjorie Taylor Greene has espoused over the years
House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has often been in the limelight for sharing numerous conspiracy theories, mostly drawing flak for her views. In one of her recent conspiracy theories, she stated that Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico's assassination attempt could have been in response to his rejection of "the WHO-proposed pandemic accord." Let us take a look at the list of conspiracy theories promoted by Marjorie Taylor Greene over the years.
1. Conspiracy theory about Slovakia PM Robert Fico's shooting
Marjorie Taylor Greene responded to the assassination attempt on Robert Fico, the prime minister of Slovakia, speculating that it could have been a reaction to his denial of "the WHO-proposed pandemic accord." In March 2024, Fico was shot many times outside a cultural institution in the village of Handlova, resulting in serious injuries. Greene posted something on X from a user going by the pseudonym 'Concerned Citizen', who characterized himself as a 'conspiracy realist' with 333.4K followers. The Concerned Citizen stated, "Slovakia REJECT The WHO proposed Pandemic Accord," along with a video of Fico speaking in Slovakian.
2. Greene's support for political violence, execution of top Dems and FBI agents
Before being elected to Congress, in 2018 and 2019, Greene frequently expressed support for the execution of high-profile Democratic politicians and FBI agents, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry. Greene started a White House petition drive in 2019 to remove Pelosi from office for 'treason' following her refusal to support former President Donald Trump's border wall funding. She additionally wrote a 'press release' and a previously unreported blog post pushing the petition, besides suggesting that Pelosi may be put to death for treason in recently discovered writings from 2019.
3. QAnon and other violent theories about Democrats
Greene supported violent, fringe conspiracies before her congressional candidacies. The most prominent of these was the debunked QAnon conspiracy theory, which sets former president Trump up in a fictitious conflict with a group of Democrats and celebrities who worship Satan and abuse children. She attempted to distance herself from QAnon in August 2020, stating that "it doesn't represent me." Besides this, there's the 'Frazzledrip' from May 2018, one of the most violent and unsettling theories Greene was ever involved in. Going deep down in the conspiracy rabbit hole, this theory claims that Huma Abedin, a former Clinton assistant, and Hillary Clinton were caught on camera abusing a minor before ripping off the child's face to use as a mask in a demonic blood sacrifice.
4. Labeling mass shootings as false flags and 'staged'
Although Greene promoted violent conspiracy theories online, she frequently conjectured about whether violent incidents that occurred in real life were false flag operations, acts that are planned by the perpetrators to appear as though they were carried out by other people or organizations, and whether they were part of a larger conspiracy. She referred to Parkland survivor and activist David Hogg as a 'paid actor' in 2018 and questioned whether the massacre that claimed 17 lives at Parkland was prearranged. A video from March 2019 shows Greene trailing Hogg as he makes his way to the US Capitol. She confronts him about gun rights and how he was able to meet with legislators, during which she can be heard making unfounded and misleading accusations. Hogg keeps walking, without looking at Greene.
5. Anti-Muslim and antisemitic comments and wild claims
Greene has regularly used strong anti-Muslim and antisemitic remarks, both online and offline. Her remarks were directed against several people, including Obama, whom Greene wrongly claimed is Muslim, and Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, two of her potential House of Representatives colleagues at the time. Greene said in a now-deleted Facebook video, captured by CNN, "These are women that really would like to see Sharia in America." Sharia is the name given to Islamic law, which is derived from the Quran and covers topics such as inheritance, marriage, divorce, and the penalties for breaking the law.
6. 'Jewish space lasers' conspiracy claim
In March 2024, when British journalist Emily Maitlis asked Greene about her wild conspiracy theory that Jewish space lasers caused the California wildfires, the politician told her to "f*** off." On Super Tuesday, Maitlis spoke to the Republican congresswoman at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago headquarters, asking her about challenger Nikki Haley and whether or not she was interested in running for vice president. Greene was then questioned on why so many Trump supporters "love conspiracy theories." Maitlis asked, "What about Jewish space lasers?" to which Greene replied, "Why don’t you f*** off?"
