According to Rep. Marjorie Greene, The Democrats Are Behind Hurricane Helene.
The Georgia lawmaker is fundamentally incapable of having any shame.
I don’t think there are any words that could even attempt to describe the level of destruction and total devastation that has been caused by Hurricane Helene. Entire communities have been erased, left where to go and where to start over. Roads leading to nowhere and places that built, molded, and shaped lives are just…gone. It feels silly to even say it’s been difficult to look at the footage coming out of the hurricane’s path considering there are people actually going through and living that reality right now, but my mind has been on those communities since it happened.
Ah but there are others, like Georgia Representative Marjorie Greene for instance, who view it as an excuse to score political points with her miserable base and get in the headlines while she’s at it.
Edith Olmstead with Yahoo News writes:
“Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed a preposterous conspiracy theory Thursday that someone at the very top created Hurricane Helene.
While many Republicans, like Donald Trump, have been quick to criticize the federal response to Hurricane Helene, Greene has started pointing fingers as to who could possibly be behind the weather event, which most normal people would understand to be caused by hot air and cold air.
“Yes they can control the weather,” Greene wrote in a post on X. “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”
Many online were disturbed by Greene’s vague use of “they,” because outlandish accusations about controlling the climate are typically antisemitic conspiracy theories — to which Greene is no stranger…”
I mean, it doesn’t get much more disgusting and riduclous than that, does it?
It’s incredible, really, that a federal lawmaker with the platform that she has, feels so comfortable making these kinds of claims and statements. Just puts that out there without a second thought. She knows that no one in her base will care or criticize her for these statements that are not only objectively dumb, but antisemitic as well.
Imagine looking at what those communities are going through, the lives lost, the homes lost, the complete and total devastation that will take years for people to rebuild and recover from, and that’s what you have to say?
That’s what you have to contribute to the discussion?
The way things are heading, the planet as we know it today will not exist for the grandkids and great grandkids of my generation. Climate change just continues to cause havoc, and this is what some of the most powerful people in the country have to contribute.
If you don’t find a way to laugh, it’ll tear you apart.
