It’s hard to even begin to comprehend the devastation that is currently happening in the city of Los Angeles. Entire communities have had their homes and businesses destroyed, lives have been lost, and it’s been one of those horrific events that has made me feel so incredibly privileged to have never experienced anything like it.

But of course, there have been no shortage of politicians with their share of comments and attempts to make themselves a spectacle in the aftermath, and it should surprise no one that none other than Georgia lawmaker Marjorie Greene has made headlines about it once again. This time, the comments have reached a whole new level of unhinged.

Sean Craig The Daily Beast writes:

“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has made it abundantly clear that she didn’t study atmospheric sciences in college, launching an unhinged suggestion that officials could end the Los Angeles wildfires by manipulating the weather.

“Why don’t they use geoengineering like cloud seeding to bring rain down on the wildfires in California?” the Republican asked Sunday in a post on X. “They know how to do it.”
