Marjorie Taylor Greene's favorite conspiracy theories

Marjorie Taylor Greene is not only one of Donald Trump's loudest defenders but also a huge fan of all kinds of bizarre and at times dangerous conspiracy theories.

According to news media like CNN, Marjorie Taylor Greene is currently one of the most visible Republican politicians in the country, and her beliefs in some pretty unconventional ideas don't seem to deter her supporters.

She's not only famous because she has the most extreme ideas within the party, but also because she has a strong presence on social media and is treated by constituents like a celebrity.

However, it didn't take long for Marjorie to earn a reputation for believing in just about every strange conspiracy theory out there.

In just the first year following her instalment as a Representative for the state of Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene declared the 2020 presidential elections a fraud, Black Lives Matters a terrorist and communist group. And that was just the tip of the iceberg...

Sworn into office in January 2021, Marjorie Taylor is a freshman in the House of Representatives. After just one month in Congress, however, Greene caused so much trouble that she was stripped of two committee assignments. The reason: promotion of conspiracy theories and endorsement of political violence.

Before getting into those conspiracy theories, let's revisit the politician's past and see how she got to the point where she is today.

Born in Milledgeville, Georgia, on May 27th, 1974, Greene is a southern woman through and through. After graduating high school, Marjorie attended the University of Georgia and obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1996.

Before delving into politics, Greene bought her father Robert Taylor's construction company, 'Taylor Commercial' in 2002.

Greene was the C.F.O of 'Taylor Commercial' for five years and then stepped down and switched her focus to CrossFit in 2011. It became her new passion, and by 2013 Marjorie had co-founded her CrossFit gym called 'CrossFit Passion.' She would later sell her gym for a tidy profit.

It was in 2017 that Marjorie began to develop her political persona. At the beginning of 2017, she started to write articles (59 in total) for 'American Truth Seekers,' a website dedicated to conspiracy news. The same year, Greene also attended protests in Washington, DC, against the Republican gun control compromise.

Later, in 2018, she began writing articles for 'Law Enforcement Today,' a web page that claims to be "unapologetically in support of those who hold the Thin Blue Line."

Marjorie also held the position of a top official of the 'Family America Project'. Founded in January of 2018, the group identifies itself as "Uniting America's Pro-Trump, America First Patriots and Groups nationwide, creating organized, powerful and effective Strike Forces in each state."

Greene moderated the group's Facebook page, and while under her supervision, members were freely able to make racist comments about the Obamas, death threats to Democrats, and posts supporting conspiracy theories.

All in all, Marjorie Taylor Greene has a history of being a far-right - as far-right as possible - Republican. She found her way into office in a country that was largely pro-Trump. Now that we know a bit of her history, let's take a look at some of the conspiracy theories Marjorie Taylor Greene has supported and publicly shared.

Following the presidential election in 2020, like many other disgruntled Republicans, Marjorie shared her belief in the conspiracy theories regarding widespread voter fraud.

On social media, she repeatedly claimed that the Democrats stole the election and encouraged Republicans to #FightForTrump. Greene even went so far as to share a petition supporting "Stop the Steal", a movement that led to the January 6th rally and the Capitol riot.

QAnon is a disproven conspiracy theory popular among the far right. The theory claims that a secret cabal of cannibalistic, Satan-worshipping child abusers controls a worldwide child sex trafficking ring. The evil group, according to QAnon believers, conspired against Donald Trump when he was in office.

In 2017 Greene spoke about "Q" and called him a "patriot" in a YouTube video. In the same video, Marjorie also said, "There's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshipping child abusers out, and I think we have the president to do it."

It seems as if Greene subscribes to almost all the shocking and bizarre conspiracy theories out there, and "Pizzagate" is no exception. "Pizzagate" is a conspiracy theory that came out in 2016 and was the precursor to QAnon. The theory claims that Hillary Clinton ran a child trafficking ring based in a DC pizzeria.

According to CNN, Marjorie Taylor Greene shared a link in one of her blog posts in 2017 that led to a website that claimed that "Pizzagate" was real. In the post, Greene wrote, "Shockingly, the website tells about information that was only whispered about and called conspiracy theories."

In the fall of 2018, the Camp Fire in California devastated the area; it was one of the most deadliest wildfires in the history of California. Conspiracy theorists such as QAnon believers claimed that the fires were started by a wealthy Jewish family who used laser beams in space to start the fires.

Greene wrote about the theory on Facebook, stating she believed the Rothschild investment bank created the lasers. "Could that cause a fire? Hmmm, I don't know," she said about space laser beams in her Facebook post.
"I hope not! That wouldn't look so good for PG&E, Rothschild Inc, Solaren or Jerry Brown who sure does seem fond of PG&E."

"Frazzledrip" is a fake video that, according to conspiracy theorists, exposes Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin as child abusers that wear human flesh as masks. This gross theory began to spread on YouTube in 2018, according to the Washington Post, with videos claiming that "Frazzledrip" was, in fact, true, receiving millions of views that year.

According to 'Media Matters for America,' Greene made comments regarding the Frazzledrip theory on Facebook. Marjorie responded to a post claiming that the video was true, writing, "Most people honestly don't know so much. The msm disinformation warfare has won for too long!"

Within the QAnon community, there was a popular theory that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died and been replaced by a body double.

Greene appeared as a guest on a pro-Trump website's streaming show in February of 2019 and was asked her opinion on whether she thought it was the "real" Ruth or a body double regarding a recent public appearance of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Greene, in response, said, "I do not believe that was Ruth. I don't think so." Her response makes us think she most likely subscribes to the Ruth Bader Ginsburg body-double theory.

In Facebook comments from 2018, Marjorie agreed with other commenters that the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, was a fake. Greene also wrote, "This is all true," to another commenter who stated that school shootings were all fake, as was 9/11.

So why does Marjorie think the government would fake these shootings? To convince the public that arms control is needed, of course! On Facebook, Greene claimed that Pelosi "tells Hilary Clinton several times a month that 'we need another school shooting' in order to persuade the public to want strict gun control."

While these posts on Greene's Facebook have since been eliminated, a video appeared of Greene harassing a school shooting survivor. The footage shows teenager David Hogg (pictured), a survivor of the Parkland shooting, getting harassed by Greene at a gun control rally. She followed the young man down the street and yelled "coward" at him.

Like many other far-right politicians, Marjorie Taylor Greene had paranoid ideas related to the pandemic. Greene was against masks, compulsory vaccination, and lockdowns. She posted on social media about how the virus isn't dangerous and claimed mask mandates are "Democrat tyrannical control" tactics.

In March of 2021, in response to the suggestion of creating "vaccine passports," Greene posted on social media claiming that the plan was "Biden's mark of the beast."

Marjorie is unsurprisingly against the 'Black Lives Matter' movement. She has spoken openly about her disdain for the group and called it a "radical Marxist group." She also referred to 'BLM' as a terrorist group.

In one of her videos, Greene even said, "The most mistreated group of people in the United States today are white males." She also has shared posts like the one pictured here. She calls the 'BLM' protesters "communist American haters and thugs."

Marjorie Taylor Greene still has plenty of time left in office, it will be interesting to see what she gets up to next!
