Marjorie Taylor Greene’s history of conspiracy theories and controversial statements under scrutiny

Just this month, Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested that “they can control the weather,” hinting at the possibility that Democrats were somehow involved with Hurricane Helene, a claim likely aimed at enhancing Donald Trump’s 2024 election prospects.

Greene has a track record of embracing unfounded conspiracy theories, including the notorious QAnon narrative, advocating for the consumption of raw milk contrary to health guidelines, alleging that Jewish space lasers caused wildfires, and making comparisons between Trump and Jesus Christ.

In 2021, Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene came under fire for her past endorsements of political violence and extreme conspiracy theories, including anti-Muslim and antisemitic remarks made before her congressional election.

The House voted to remove her from committee assignments, while GOP leaders chose not to act against her earlier. A CNN KFile review highlighted the fringe nature of her statements.

In a floor speech, Greene attempted to distance herself from her conspiracy theories, expressing regret for having believed and discussed untrue claims. She attributed her situation to her social media activity and blamed the media for the scrutiny she faced.

In 2022, she even spoke at a White supremacist conference, according to HuffPost.

When former BBC news anchor Emily Maitlis confronted Greene in March about her promotion of discredited claims, Greene responded with a terse, “F**k off,” before walking away.
