(JTA) Among the many posts being unearthed amid renewed scrutiny of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s social media history is one in which the new congresswoman implicated “Rothschild Inc” in connection with a deadly forest fire that, she wrote, was started using laser beams from space.
Greene, a freshman Republican from Georgia who made waves during the campaign for her promotion of the QAnon conspiracy theory, made the accusation in a 2018 Facebook post that is no longer visible. In the post, Greene offers a mix of evidence-free speculation as to what caused the 2018 Camp Fire, which burned more than 150,000 acres and killed 85 people.
Congress’ Resident QAnon Loon Claimed 2018 Camp Fire was Started by Space Lasers
A recent dump of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s old social media posts includes a 2018 screed that a cabal of Jewish bankers used space lasers to start the deadliest fire in California history, as part of a high-speed rail scheme.
One of the defining characteristics of the Trump-inspired QAnon movement is that when tragedy strikes, they skip the whole “Sorry for your loss” sentiment and go straight to blaming the victims for their alleged connections to satanism, pedophilia, Jews, etc. This was a repeated pattern found in CNN’s uncovering of some absolutely bonkers social media posts by the new QAnon darling in Congress Marjorie Taylor Greene, most notably her stalking and harassment of Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor David Hogg.

Jewish Groups Urge Marjorie Taylor Greene s Removal Over Hate-Filled Conspiracy Theories

Jewish groups have called for the removal of House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress, after she shared a wide-ranging conspiracy theory tinged with anti-Semitic tropes on Facebook.
Media Matters on Thursday revealed one of Georgia Rep. Greene s old Facebook posts from 2018, where she made several baseless claims about the cause of California s wildfires that same year. She simultaneously implied that the fires could have been started deliberately or accidentally by a solar power generating satellite, but either way the fires were conveniently along the route of the planned California High-Speed Rail project.
