While Mitch McConnell and many others referred to her thinking as a “cancer,” the troubling part is how widespread her ideology has become...
Write up from the daily beast citing multiple sources:
To say Taylor Greene is red-pilled doesn’t begin to cover the Alex Jones-style bugs gnawing on her cerebral cortex. She’s flirted with 9/11 trutherism, and the idea that school shootings are false flags, writing on Facebook that “I am told that Nancy Pelosi tells Hillary Clinton several times a month that ‘we need another school shooting’ in order to persuade the public to want strict gun control.” Then there’s the March 2019 video of her harassing school shooting survivor and teenager David Hogg. The visual of a middle-aged woman screaming at a teenager on the street is pretty jarring. CNN noted that in a deleted Facebook post MTG called Hogg #littlehitler.
Media Matters recently uncovered her “Jewish space laser conspiracy theory,” which is even more batshit than the normal Taylor Greene Facebook posts. It postulates that the California wildfires of 2018 were ignited by Jewish lasers from “space solar generators” that can somehow be blamed on “a vice chairman at Rothschild Inc., international investment banking firm.”
And of course, Taylor Greene also fears and loathes Muslims. A recording that Politico obtained featured her describing “Islamic nations under Sharia law as places where men have sex with little boys, little girls, multiple women” and “marry their sisters [and] their cousins.” She suggested the 2018 midterms—which ushered in the most diverse class of House freshmen ever—was part of “an Islamic invasion of our government.” She also claimed that Obama was a Muslim.
But the most disturbing thing about Taylor Greene is that while she may be louder than some of the crazy Republicans holding elected office, she’s not necessarily all that much crazier. The New Yorker’s profile quotes a fellow Georgia Republican calling her “a Donald Trump in heels.” Another of her constituents told the magazine that “Margie is like the female version of Trump to me. Everything that she believes in goes along the same line as what I believe in.”
