Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) weighed in on the deadly hurricane which wreaked havoc in her state of Georgia and across the southern United States on Thursday, suggesting that the hurricane had been controlled.

After the Hurricane Helene death toll rose to over 200, Greene wrote in a social media post, “Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”

Greene also posted a map of the areas most affected by the hurricane overlaid with an electoral map by political party.

“This is a map of hurricane affected areas with an overlay of electoral map by political party shows how hurricane devastation could affect the election,” she warned.

Following her election to Congress in 2020, Greene received criticism over previous comments she had made suggesting the wildfires in California had been started by space lasers connected to the wealthy Rothschild family.

Greene’s remarks came to be known as the “Jewish Space Laser” remarks – despite the congresswoman never using those exact words – and Greene went on to capitalize on the controversy earlier this year when she filed an amendment to an Israel aid bill proposing that funds “be used for the development of space laser technology on the southwest border.”
