Marjorie Taylor Greene has gotten herself into more trouble

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene renewed her conspiratorial thinking in a recent online post that asked Americans to question whether the US government was manipulating the weather in the lead-up to Hurricane Milton. 

On October 7th, Greene posted her latest conspiratorial message about the government controlling the weather on X. She called climate change the “new Covid” and then made a rather ridiculous ask of the American people. 

“Climate change is the new Covid,” Greene began. “Ask your government if the weather is manipulated or controlled. Did you ever give permission to them to do it?” She added, “Are you paying for it? Of course you are..”

The claim was published on her official congressional representative account and it also earned her a heap of criticism and ridicule from other X users who made fun of Greene for her comment or called out her ignorance. 

“People are preparing for yet another disaster and this is what you think is important?” one user remarked. “I’m too busy thinking about being able to control my own body to think about where I want a hurricane to go, Marge,” another commenter added. 

“Can you imagine being this ignorant… and being a member of Congress,” one X user commented before adding a long message about how claiming the government was in control of the weather was “flat-out nonsense.”

“Your nonsense twists science, exaggerates speculative tech beyond reason, and fuels baseless conspiracy theories. I hope that help, but seriously, read a book or two and get some help. Professional help. You need it. GA District 14 you need,” the user added. 

On October 3rd, Greene kicked off a media cycle about her belief in the government controlling the weather when she claimed in a post on her personel X account that an unknown “they” did indeed control the weather. 

“Yes they control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done,” Greene wrote. The claim was quickly debunked by X, which noted weather could be controlled on small scale, but weather events like hurricanes could not be controlled. 

Greene was quickly criticized by many for her X post, including her Republican colleague Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez, who wrote on X: “NEW FLASH… Humans cannot create or control hurricanes. Anyone who thinks they can, needs to have their head examined.”

Forbes noted that an earlier post from Greene published on October 3rd showed how Hurricane Helene could affect the election. “This is a map of hurricane affected areas with an overlay of electoral map by political party shows how hurricane devastation could affect the election,” Greene wrote.

This isn’t the first time Greene has gotten herself into trouble online by publicly posting conspiracy theories on her social media accounts. Greene was previously ridiculed by the internet and the media over one rather ridiculous claim. 

In 2018, Greene wrote a Facebook post that blamed wildfires in California at the time on space lasers controlled by PG&E and the Jewish Rothchilds family according to the New Yorker. It was a claim that was later dubbed the Jewish Space Laser conspiracy. 

Greene recently referenced a CBS News story published nearly a decade ago on space lasers being used to control the weather in an October 5th, 2024 post published on her personal X account, though it wasn’t connected to her former space laser theory. 

On October 8th, Greene published another post on her personal X account referencing an article from The Gateway Pundit that claimed Greene’s government-laser-controlled weather theory was backed by science.

However, it should be pointed out that Wikipedia notes in its entry about The Gateway Pundit that the news website is “an American far-right fake news website” that is “known for publishing falsehoods, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories.”
