Georgia Republican lawmaker also claims she didn’t know Rothschild family, of her ‘space laser’ theory, was Jewish
Republican US House member Marjorie Taylor Greene has said she believes in demons, surmising that they might be aliens who fell from heaven, and claims to have been unaware that key figures in the antisemitic space lasers conspiracy she floated were Jewish.
She made those bizarre remarks as a guest on Friday on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher after winning some fans among Democrats who once loathed her – yet had come to appreciate how the far-right Georgia representative had recently broken with Republicans on various issues. Those include healthcare, Gaza, the federal government shutdown that began on 1 October and the handling of documents pertaining to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was friends with Donald Trump before the latter man won two presidencies.
Greene’s appearance on Maher’s show perhaps made evident the ideological distance between the congresswoman – who has conspicuously avoided directly criticizing Trump himself – and some of her newer, cross-aisle admirers.
two demons talking about demons, got it
So she is converting to Scientology? Cause that basically the same thing. Evil space alien are in your body and you need to pay lots of money to the church to exorcise them from your soul and body.
Religion is a form of insanity, but I think she would have managed to be insane without religion.
but insanity you mean stupidity.
Nope, she is literally insane. And religion is based on delusions, so that’s insanity too.
Religion can definitely drive people insane but I’d say in our day and age is more likely the already insane are drawn to it.
I disagree, most people that are religious, are brought up with religion. Their ability for rational thought is compromised from childhood.
There’s the stupid.
I hated actually hearing positive views from that bog troll. She’s a horrid thing and we should always remember that.
Annnnd she’s back.
I was going to comment basically the same:
“There it is, the timeline is starting to correct itself”
I wonder which future historical figure was murdered or allowed to live by time travellers in order to get us back on the evil timeline.
There’s that crazy bitch we know and love. These past couple of weeks of her acting reasonably? I knew that wouldn’t last.
What a shock. The Jewish Space Laser person believes aliens are real and that they are actually demons.
I’ve heard that it’s a common evangelical belief. They believe that humans are the only sentient species created by God, so anything else would have to be Satanic. Makes perfect sense if you’re fucking delusional.
As a former evangelical fundamentalist, I can confirm. It’s a common belief. That’s what I believed once upon a time. Fifteen years ago I would have argued with you about it.
Also former fundie… and yeah there was a popular teenage book series when I was growing up. I think it was called “the forbidden doors”. And yeah basically a long series that basically fell into the same pattern over and over, and yeah in short, basically it’s “no that house isn’t haunted, it’s a demon, we need to get right with god and cast it out”… “No that isn’t an alien it’s a demon, we need to get right with god and cast it out”. etc…
I never heard that about aliens (probably grew up in too podunk a place for anyone to bring it up) but 100% heard this about hauntings. Anything related to ghosts is demonic or satanic.
Along with any bad thing that happens. Alcoholism? Demon got him. Accidentally killed a kid? Demon. Purposely killed and ate a kid? Demon. Spilled breakfast cereal? Demon. Don’t like the way someone looks? A demon is probably in them, you can see it behind their eyes. Cheat on your wife? Demon. Get caught getting split open by two dudes in a truck stop bathroom? Demon. “Wrestle with gay thoughts” to the point where you think homosexuality is a choice? Well, thoughts of sweaty men showering together were sent directly by Satan himself.
For a bunch of folks who say you should take personal responsibility they sure blame a lot of shit on demons.
I’ve also seen diseases and ailments being described as the fault of demons. High blood pressure? Demon. Allergies? Demon. Cancer? Demon. It’s just crazy to me.
Well I’m pretty sure I have ghosts in my blood and should do cocaine about it.
Cocaine embiggens the blood and wrinklecates the brain for do bettering.
Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End wasn’t fiction after all?
That’s not quite what she said: she basically said she openly believes in batshit religious nonsense, and as such would have no trouble believing unknown phenomena are figures appearing in her batshit beliefs.
The keyword in all of this is batshit. How she won an election, I’ll never know.
Because a significant proportion of the country is also batshit.
Can’t stop here. Batshit country!
I’m not surprised this is what the guardian puts up as an article and not all the strangely coherent things she said on Bill Maher’s show.
I was flabbergasted as I was watching… Like please stop making sense MTG!! It made me feel like I messed up somewhere cause historically she sounds batshit insane.
We really should “slam” the guardian for this shitty reporting/headline.
Were you watching it live? Or is it on the internet somewhere?
On HBO/max whatever the streaming service is called now.
