Marjorie Taylor Greene Goes Full Kook With Mass Shooting Conspiracy Theory

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) claimed this week’s mass shooting at a parade in Illinois could have been a secret operation carried out by gun control advocates.

“Two shootings on July 4th, one in a rich, white neighborhood and the other at a fireworks display,” she said in a clip posted on Twitter by Patriot Takes, which monitors right-wing media.

Greene was referring to the parade shooting in Highland Park, which left seven people dead, and likely an incident in Philadelphia that left two police officers wounded.

“It almost sounds like it’s designed to persuade Republicans to go along with more gun control,” she said. “I mean, after all, remember, we didn’t see that happen at all the Pride parades in the month of June.”

1. Critical thinking is not one of MTG's strong suits.

[H2O Man]

3. +1

"Thinking" is not, either.

8. You beat me to it.

If breathing required thinking, she’d be dead. Too bad if doesn’t.

[H2O Man]

15. I knew I had to

get that in mighty fast!

And you are right about her gills working without conscious thought.

4. No she lets Alex Jones and Steve Bannon do her thinking for her.

9. It's not thinking. It's a mental tic...

...caused by projection.

[DBoon]

11. reality based thinking is not one of MTG's strong suits

it isn't a lack of logic here, it is making things up out of cuckoo-land delusions

[H2O Man]

2. She is pathetic.

Recommended.

[PCIntern]

5. She must have missed her assignment

Better luck next time.

6. Reverse False Flag

Perhaps it could be that some NRA advocates and gun-humpers carried off this massacre and others, so that they could claim their whack-a-doodle theories.

7. If Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann had a baby by Louie Gohmert...

10. She needs to be kicked out of Congress for that statement alone.

The idiot who did this shooting was a MAGA Republican from a Republican pro-gun family. Ask his dad, who ran for mayor of Highland Park in 2019 and was defeated by a pro-gun control Democrat. https://www.newsweek.com/robert-crimo-father-lost-highland-park-mayor-race-gun-control-democrat-1721775

She is pushing a blatantly false conspiracy theory, that is right up there with accusing Sandy Hook kids of being "crisis actors."

12. Is Alex Jones still hiding assets after the lawsuit? Maybe Traitor Greene should lawyer up.

13. What is she going to do once she hears of the latest, that he belonged to a

group that equally as dangerous?

[AntiFascist]

14. Or maybe it was enabled by her fellow co-conspirator...

Lauren "I am the militia" Boebert. That would make a little more sense.

16. I don't know, Marjorie, maybe this will sound like a conspiracy theory...

...but is it just slightly possible that there WAS going to be a mass shooting incident at the Pride event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, but the police arrested the nazis and put them in jail before they could accomplish it?

17. This lady is a nut case

[GoCubsGo]

18. Margie is deflecting and distracting.

Another massacre by a young, white male Trumpster using a semi-automatic gun... Look! Squirrel!!!!

[UTUSN]

19. She hasn't been at the *full* level all along?
