MTG fuels 'weather control' conspiracy theory after Hurricane Helene impact, Internet calls her 'dumb'

ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) pushed for a new conspiracy theory about 'weather control' as the United States dealt with the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Helene on Thursday, October 3, reported The Daily Beast.

Taking to the social media platform X, Greene wrote in a post, "Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done." She did not clarify who "they" were in her post but had made similar baseless allegations before.

According to the publication, the controversial post followed one displaying a map of hurricane-hit areas, captioned with "how hurricane devastation could affect the election."

Previous conspiracy theories promoted by MTG

The conservative Congresswoman is no stranger to being associated with conspiracy theories. In 2021, she was widely ridiculed for suggesting that the devastating wildfires in California were lit by laser beams from outer space controlled by the extremely wealthy Rothschild family.

She has also publicly backed baseless claims promoted by QAnon and Pizzagate. They include describing several school shootings as “false flag” operations, denying that 9/11 ever happened, and warning the public that the federal government wanted them to consume fake meat produced by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

Internet calls Greene 'special kind of stupid'

Netizens reacting to MTG's post brutally trolled her on X, rejecting her conspiracy theory. The following tweets demonstrate their takes.

"We know you’re the dumbest member of Congress. You don't have to remind us of it every day," wrote a user.

"Yours is a special kind of stupid," stated another.

"You are dumber than a bag of rocks," jibed a third.

"Okay, but if 'they' control weather, then the next logical extreme is that humans caused climate change. She really didn't think this talking point through," quipped a fourth.

"It’s true. Here’s a photo of a top secret weather-controlling device," mocked a fifth with the picture of a sharpie.

"Who are ‘they’? Can I consult with ‘them’ before my next vacation? I am tired of getting rained out. If ‘they’ can help, that’d be great," trolled a sixth user.

"Is the weather fixer in the room with us right now?" chided yet another.
