MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND US THAT SHE IS NOT SERIOUS

As recently as last month, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was still
sensitive about the whole “Jewish space lasers” thing.

You may recall — who are we kidding, you do recall — that, soon after she was
first elected to the House in 2020, Media Matters uncovered a 2018 Facebook post
in which Greene theorized that a massive California wildfire had been sparked by
a “laser beam or a light beam” being sent down from space as PG&E (and its
Rothschild-connected leadership) sought a cleaner form of energy or to build a
high-speed train or both. It was, in short, convoluted, in the way that making
up nonsense tends to be.
