Humiliated Marjorie Taylor Greene Admits She Spread Fake News

Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a shocking report on Twitter on Sunday morning, claiming that the so-called ABC News whistleblower had been killed in a fiery car crash. Not too long after posting this, Greene was forced to come back online and admit that she had fallen for fake news that was not true. It is one thing to push a conspiracy (that ABC gave Harris the debate questions in advance,) but it is another thing entirely to push a conspiracy theory on top of a conspiracy theory. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Conspiracy theories are bad enough. And right now, this country is battling through multiple different conspiracy theories, all of them perpetuated by people on the right. There are of course conspiracy theories now floating around about the man that was apprehended, uh, with guns at Donald Trump's golf course. There is, of course, still the conspiracy theory roaming around that migrants in Springfield, Ohio were eating the pets. And then there's a new Republican conspiracy theory that they allegedly have this whistleblower, right, this whistleblower from a b, c news that is preparing to sign a sworn affidavit saying that Kamala Harris was given the debate questions ahead of time. And then on top of that conspiracy theory about this a, b, C news whistleblower, a new conspiracy erupted over that this past weekend, pushed in part by Marjorie Taylor Green, Marjorie Taylor Green at 8:00 AM on Sunday morning, 8:00 AM Eastern time, got on social media and posted this, the a BC whistleblower who claimed Kamala Harris was given debate.

Questions ahead of the debate has died in a car crash, according to news reports. Oh, no. So an imaginary person was, was killed in a car crash. Well, it turns out, even though, you know, these posts blew up on social media, um, it didn't happen. In fact, the news sources that Marjorie Taylor Greene was citing were in fact nothing more than an AI generated satire piece. That's right. It came from an AI generated website that even the right wing gateway pundit didn't, uh, uh, fall for. In fact, they told their viewers, uh, warding, this website is contaminated with a virus. It is clear to us that this is a complete hoax. Nevertheless, Marjorie Taylor Green was like, no, this person who is totally real definitely died in a car crash that was also totally real until she realized, wait a minute. Um, yeah, that apparently didn't happen.

So then a very humiliated Marjorie Taylor Greene had to get back on social media a couple hours later and said this, this story appears to be false, and I'm glad to hear it. We need a serious investigation into the whistleblower's report that Kamala Harris was given debate questions ahead of time from a, B, C. So thank God, right? I mean, we don't want imaginary people dying in this country. That that is just one of the worst things I can imagine. Um, but Marjorie, you gotta fact check things sometimes. But this is the problem with the Republican party, right? They're so quick to jump on any conspiracy theory that, of course, confirms what they already think because

There is no report, by the way, from this alleged, a BC news whistleblower. You know, she says the whistleblower's report, there is no report. That's not even a thing. This is by all measures, another hoax, another fake conspiracy theory from these morons. And then to make it worse, she adds another conspiracy theory about a fictionalized car accident on top of the original conspiracy theory, because these people are absolutely cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. We have an entire political party in this country that has gone insane. A a and I don't say that lightly. I'm not just throwing around the word insane because it's a good insult. I genuinely, literally mean the entire Republican party is insane. They cannot be trusted. They can't trust their own brains. They cannot discern fiction from reality. These people all need mental help, and I don't think we have enough mental health professionals in the United States to tend to all of these crazy people in the Republican Party, but this is where we're at.
