Following the disaster of Hurricane Helene, Donald Trump made false claims about the federal government’s response — like no phone calls from President Biden to affected governors, to FEMA aid going to immigrants.
Then U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared to claim Democrats control the weather. No one controls the weather. This led to their brainwashed cult threatening aid work- ers in affected areas. They also threatened meteorologists.
We’ve seen this song and dance before. Baseless conspiracy theories that lead to violence. Election workers threatened in Georgia. A physical attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband. The Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
Is this what America wants? A demagogue whose agenda is based on lies and unfounded allegations. A lunatic sycophant. Remember Greene’s Jewish space lasers conspiracy causing the California wildfires? Gazpacho vs. Gestapo? Their hordes of brutal minions who threaten others who don’t share their beliefs.
This isn’t democracy. It’s anarchy.
