A day after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed “they” can “control the weather” — and posted a map of Hurricane Helene damage overlaid with electoral preferences, suggesting the deadly disaster will help Democrats in November — she appeared on one of the most high-profile stages in politics.
“This is our opportunity to take our country back,” Greene told a crowd in Georgia on Friday, where she campaigned alongside Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance.
She didn’t mention the weather again, instead focusing on more standard campaign trail fare. But those comments, which fed into baseless conspiracy theories online that the hurricane was part of some vast Democratic scheme to hurt GOP voter turnout, clearly didn’t harm her standing with Vance.
