5:32Now PlayingDuring a recent interview with Steve Bannon, Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene went on a rant about prosecuting Anthony Fauci, and then things took a turn when she decided to take a brief moment to say that she doesn't believe in the "science" of evolution. This was a weird and out-of-place comment, but it shows how stupid this country has become because of politics. Farron Cousins discusses this.

During an appearance on Steve Bannon show earlier this week, Republican representative Marjorie Taylor green, went on a rant about how Dr. Anthony Fauci should be prosecuted, uh, for the role he allegedly played according to her for years and years and years, sending money to research facilities in China, where she says they created COVID-19. Um, and of course, you know, that a theory that this was a man-made virus is certainly picking up steam. Uh, it's not as you know, crazy as it once seemed. However, Dr. Anthony Fauci his in involvement in that, um, that that's a little more on the extreme side, but then what happened during this clip is that Marjorie Taylor green, as she's wanting to do, took a turn and admitted that she doesn't quite believe in what she referred to as science, take a look at Marjorie Taylor green off on a tangent for a moment about evolution here. It is.
No, I don't buy it because I don't believe in evolution. I don't believe in, in that type of so-called science. I don't believe in evolution. I believe in God.
Yeah. She doesn't believe in that science of evolution. No, she believes in God instead, God did it all. Every single thing that happens, everything that is happening.
And you know what though, Marjorie,
I have to question this a little bit. I'll get into the political politicization of science in just a moment. But if you do believe that God is in fact in charge of everything, then why do you keep denying the Donald Trump lost the election, right? Wouldn't that also be God's work wouldn't there essentially be no free will at all, for anyone ever. All of it is whatever God wants to do with his little puppet people walking around here on earth. Uh, but I guess that's conversation for another day. The big thing here is she doesn't believe in evolution. Nope. You can't convince her even with the scientific evidence to support the theory of evolution. Nope. None of that matters. Evolution is fake and God is real, even though the evidence is, you know, on the opposite sides there, here's the thing though. This is what drives me crazy about this because it's not just Marjorie Taylor green. Obviously we have large portions of, uh, Americans, a lot of them, most of them, you know, on this particular issue on the right, who can look at science, learn about it and still say, Nope, Nope, God did it.
We have in fact, politicized science here in the United States, not just on issues of evolution, but evolution is obviously one of the more contentious ones for the last few decades really. But another issue is climate change. The science is clear on that. Okay. There is very little dissent whatsoever among actual real scientists that aren't on the payroll of fossil fuel companies. But Republicans choose to reject that and tell us that it's not real, that it's not happening. Even though all of the data, all of the evidence is right there for anyone to look at, should they choose to look at it?
But if you believe in climate change, you're on the left. You believe in evolution, you're on the left because science itself is political now. And it shouldn't be, you know, that's the problem. It's not just a Marjorie Taylor green issue. It is a Republican versus Democrat issue because somewhere along the way, they decided we're going to reject science in order to pander, to our base and to pander to our donors. And that's exactly what this denial of evolution is. It's their way to pander to the religious, right? That's why they do it. And I have no doubt that Marjorie Taylor green in fact does not believe in science. You know, I, I firmly believe she is a science denier. I don't think she's doing it for political points. I think she's doing it because like so many Americans she's been brainwashed for decades with these idiotic talking points.
