Marjorie Taylor Greene Yells At Reporter Who Asked About Her 'Jewish Space Laser' Comments

At a recent event, Marjorie Taylor Greene was confronted by a reporter about her comments from 2018 where she suggested that the devastating California wildfires were somehow caused by space lasers that she linked to prominent Jewish individuals. Greene was angry about the question, as usual, and lashed out at the reporter by yelling about how she's a Christian and supports Israel.

So even though she's only been in office for about 15 months now, Marjorie Taylor green has said so many stupid things that we forget about where it all began. Right? And one of the dumbest and craziest, and let's be honest, racist things that she ever said actually came from 20 18, 2 years before her election, when she was talking about the California wildfires and expressed her concern on Facebook, that they may have been caused by space lasers, run by a prominent Jewish family, the Rothschild. Uh, and so recently at a event, she was approached by a reporter, wanted to get some answers about this. You know, now almost four year old quote from her. And in case you're not familiar here is what green had to say on Facebook. Back in 2018, as California is being ravaged by wildfires. This is what this person said two years before she was elected to Congress.

They're beaming the sun's energy back to earth. I'm sure they would ever miss a transmitter receiving station. Right. What would that look like? Anyway, a laser beam or a light beam coming down to earth, I guess, could that cause a fire? Hmm. I don't know. I hope not. That wouldn't look good for Pacific gas and electric Roth's child ink Solarin or Jerry Brown, who sure does seem fond of PG G and E. So the reporter went up to her and said, Hey, listen, this was your post under your name. You're talking about the Rothchild family, which has been at the center of antisemitic conspiracy since the 19th century green responds. I do. I did not know that. I, I had no idea I'm telling you. So the reporter says, but now that you do know now that you've been told antisemitism is on the rise at an alarming rate.

And at this point, green gets mad. So before the reporter can even finish the point, talking about antisemitism, rising across the globe, especi actually here in the United States, she interjects, angrily yelling. I'm fully against antisemitism. You're, you're mixing two things together. You're accusing me of something I did not do. And then you're trying to blame me for antisemitism. I'm a Christian. I support Israel. I'm one of the most pro Israel voters in Congress. So why don't you judge me by the, those things instead of twisting and turning what you think I was writing in some 2018 Facebook post, um, he didn't twist and turn anything. He literally did what I just did, which was read you what you wrote. There was no twisting and turning necessary there. Marjorie, you, you said this thing, you threw out the name of this family, the Roth's Childs. And now you're like, oh, I, I didn't even know who they were. Of course you didn't because that's how well these

Conspiracies have taken hold that there is somehow this prominent Jewish family, like the reporter pointed out since the 19th century that's been the target of anti-Semitic attacks because it just an easy target for y'all right? Cuz that's why you do these things. People were dying by the way, in these fires, billions of dollars of damage caused by these fires, Donald Trump as president at the time mocking the state of California for not raking their forests. When in reality, of course it was the energy company, PG and E faulty equipment sparked the fires from what we know. And here she is blaming these Jewish space lasers and then has the audacity to get angry. When somebody brings it up, that was 2018. You're a sitting member of Congress. Guess what? Everything you've ever said ever is now something that you're going to be held accountable for. You don't want that pressure. Don't be in Congress. That's how things work.
