Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared to double down on her Hurricane Helene conspiracy theory over the weekend, following up a baseless claim that “they” can control the weather with an assertion that such a scheme might involve lasers.

I am a 45 year old white dude, with a 40 year old white wife. We have 3 white children. I don't fear the rise of hate and fear. But my best friend and his family are black. I think about them, and my gay friends, and I have fear for them. If there ever comes a time that I must pick up a weapon to defend my friends, I will. I do fear another battle against this threat of racism and fascism, but my black friend has enough guns for both of us.

Rant over. I just hate this shadow of bullshit I live under. The stupidity and willful ignorance.
