Welp, Marjorie Taylor Greene Has a Brand New, Totally Crazy Anti-Vax Conspiracy Theory

Strap in, it's gonna be a bumpy ride for this one.

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene must be battling some personal demons or something. It’s hard to imagine another reason that she would so openly advertise how batsh*t crazy she is constantly.

Her latest buffoonery comes on the heels of her DC jail visit to the inmates incarcerated for their participation in the January 6 riots at the Capitol. But for once, her new ticket to Crazytown has nothing to do with the 2020 election. Instead, she is warning her followers that President Biden’s vaccine mandate is part of a “Communist revolution” in America.

In a string of unhinged tweets on Sunday, Greene declared that the mandate was an effort to “purge” Trump supporters and those who have chosen not to get the COVID vaccine from government and public agencies.

Rep. Greene is just the latest in a long line of Republicans who missed civics class in high school entirely. Communism has no root in America in any political party and hasn’t since the “Red Scare” of the 1950s and 60s. Prior to that, communists numbered among those who actually helped build America’s infrastructure and middle class.

But for Greene and conservatives like her, communism is just when the government does things they don’t like.

If America is to have any hope of defeating the COVID pandemic, idiotic statements like this will have to end. Because Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t alone in her wild theories — she just has a bigger megaphone than most.
