QAnon Rep Marjorie Taylor-Greene Denies She Ever Believed in Jewish Space Lasers, Blames ‘Leftist Media’

Marjorie Taylor-Greene will not appear for an interview in any situation she deems “unfriendly,” meaning by CNN or MSNBC. She even had a local Georgia reporter escorted out of an event because the reporter asked a question. Marjorie cannot even reliably go on FOX. She’s been sworn-off by Hannity, perhaps he deemed her too dangerous for the MAGA movement.

So Marjorie tries to find the most reliably-friendly media out there because she doesn’t want to face uncomfortable questions about why she met with Trump in the White House in late December of 2020 to discuss the January 6th “protest.” She was an incoming freshmen representative, not even sworn-in, what was she doing? Similarly, she doesn’t want to face questions about her thoughts on Nancy Pelosi or school shootings.

Thus, she went on Newsmax, sure that she would be safe from actual questions about her actual beliefs and actions. And Newsmax’s Greg Kelly did, mostly, provide a safe space for Marj, making it clear that he liked Marj and didn’t think she was crazy but did want to ask her about the whole “Jewish Space Laser thing.”

“I’ve been telling people that I talked to you and I find you reasonable and interesting and not crazy. And the one thing they keep coming back at and I would love for you to address, what’s this whole thing about the lasers and Jewish people?

Marjorie gave the reliable MAGA response. Lie, say it didn’t happen, blame the leftist media:

 “I actually have no idea because I’ve never said that phrase or typed it — ‘Jewish space lasers.’ But this is a story that some leftist ‘journalist’ — really he’s an activist — wrote a hit piece on me and titled it ‘Jewish Space Lasers’ and so, you know, the left-wing media, they just run the same lies over and over again and they call me an anti-Semite and say that I said something like Jewish space lasers and I never did.

Well.

We cannot actually look at what Marjorie wrote because she removed it from the net – tellingly – but Media Matters has a breakdown of what Majorie actually said. From Media Matters:

Rep. Greene is a proponent of the Camp Fire laser beam conspiracy theory. She wrote a November 17, 2018, Facebook post — which is no longer available online — in which she said that she was speculating “because there are too many coincidences to ignore” regarding the fire, including that then-California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) wanted to build the high-speed rail project and “oddly there are all these people who have said they saw what looked like lasers or blue beams of light causing the fires.” She also speculated that a vice chairman at “Rothschild Inc, international investment banking firm” was somehow involved, and suggested the fire was caused by a beam from “space solar generators.” 

Greene added: “If they are beaming the suns energy back to Earth, I’m sure they wouldn’t ever miss a transmitter receiving station right??!! I mean mistakes are never made when anything new is invented. What would that look like anyway? A laser beam or light beam coming down to Earth I guess. Could that cause a fire? Hmmm, I don’t know. I hope not! That wouldn’t look so good for PG&E, Rothschild Inc, Solaren or Jerry Brown who sure does seem fond of PG&E.” 

That sounds like Jewish space lasers to us and those are Marjorie’s own words. We would pay a lot of money to have Rachel Maddow read those very words to Marjorie and ask her to explain what she meant in each detail.

Watch Marj:

Peace, y’all
