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.

    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.

        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.

    What a shock. The Jewish Space Laser person believes aliens are real and that they are actually demons.

    Thank goodness, I was beginning to think that reality itself was unraveling.

    Now, are these space demons jewish and do they have lasers?

      She kept saying things I agreed with. It was starting to get a little unsettling. Here’s the batshit crazy I’ve come to know and expect. And somehow this level of insanity is deemed worthy enough to make decisions for millions of people… <sigh>

    There’s that crazy bitch we know and love. These past couple of weeks of her acting reasonably? I knew that wouldn’t last.

    So, I suspect this was a psyop to get Congress behind funding a number of surveillance projects, but the typical grifters and some hack Republicans who can’t find anything else to raise their profile quickly latched on. As soon as Lunatic got involved I knew it would turn into Religious fodder. These people are too kooky. Shameless and cringe and kooky.

    MJT mixing mythical creates from different fiction series. WTF next? Spock and Yoda in the same episode?
