The Georgia Republican seems to be peddling a conspiracy theory about Hurricane Helene and suggesting that there’s an environmental weapon being used nefariously against Republicans.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is back to doing what she’s best known for: spreading conspiracy theories.

The Georgia Republican, who infamously boosted a conspiracy theory about Jewish space lasers in 2021, seemingly tried to imply that Hurricane Helene was the product of someone — an ominous but otherwise unidentified “they” — who can control the weather.

Greene wrote on X[itter] late Thursday:

Yes, they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.

[…]

To state it plainly: The idea of weather-inducing technology that’s powerful enough to generate a weaponized hurricane has been debunked by experts. (Is cloud seeding a thing? Yes, but that doesn’t seem to be what’s under discussion here.)

[…]

Together, Greene’s posts certainly give the impression that she thinks Hurricane Helene was the result of some artificial technology to harm Republicans. Which is taking a claim that Donald Trump and others in the GOP have been making — suggesting that federal agencies are deliberately denying aid to Republican residents and giving it to undocumented immigrants instead — and really launching it into the stratosphere, so to speak. For the record, FEMA has denounced and corrected Trump’s claims.

    If they can control the weather, then clearly they’re controlling you.

    That desire to vote Trump? Clearly, it’s a deep state machination.

    Sorry, Conservatives, you gotta vote Harris.
