Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed 'Jewish space lasers' caused California wildfires
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said "Jewish space lasers" caused California wildfires, repeating a conspiratorial claim she has promoted. Greene, a Republican from Georgia, has also accused school shootings were faked by crisis actors and compared Covid-19 mask mandates to Holocaust suffering. Critics call the "Jewish space lasers" claim antisemitic and say it echoes centuries-old conspiracy myths that scapegoat Jewish people for disasters. The story matters because a sitting member of Congress promoting conspiratorial antisemitic tropes can normalize misinformation and deepen social divisions during emergencies.
Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today
Whoops, you blamed leftists for something liberals are doing.
Apparently I have very different leftists in my timeline than you do, only people I’ve seen praising MTG online are the same blue wave liberals on Facebook I see fawn over every MAGA shithead who has a falling out with Trump.
Again, they wanted that "redeemed" white savior so badly.
Ryan Grim is a fuckwad and always has been.
AOC hates Israel because it's genocidal. MTG hates Israel because it's full of Jewish people. They are not the same.
MTG is an anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist. There is no place for people like that in an effective movement.
… You think it’s *leftists* siding with MTG?
They only like cool bartenders that sling uppers as well as downers.
are some leftists in the room with us right now
that's why i don't trust non-Marxist leftists
I'd argue that anyone who's enthused about the idea of letting ppl like MTG into their spaces are most emphatically NOT on the left no matter how much they claim to be they're center-right AT BEST, and more likely are just plain ol' right wing reactionaries
Who are these supposed leftists you're talking about?
Why did you make up people in your head and get mad at them? No leftists like MTG.
Cenk isn’t a leftist, he and Ana Kasparian are at best liberals pretending to be leftists
When did people on our side begin embracing Marjorie and attacking Ocasio-Cortez?
It is insane that there’s anybody at all, let alone anyone on the left, who is caping for her. She deserves to be abandoned by everyone. She deserves to be shunned, even by our enemies. People like her have no place in a civilized culture. She’s only one of many who deserve this treatment.
No idea what this is about and I'm happy with that.
AOC is not, and has never been an antisemite. She has never conflated her criticism of the Israeli regime with criticism of Judaism.
I have seen zero leftists doing this, and plenty of WELCOME TO THE RESISTANCE from the vote blue no matter who types. You must be very confused about what a leftist is.
She is irredeemable, and I wish more people saw that. She is a straight-up antisemite, transphobe, homophobe, racist, xenophobe, ableist piece of shit. She only hates Trump because she believes in antisemetic conspiracy theories about Israel controlling Trump.
Please learn the difference between leftists and shitlibs.
This is so weird though. Where is the redemption tour? She literally bemoans how Trump lost his way, she has even said she hopes he recalims his original "America First" promises She screams baby murderer at those that disagree with her. Just, no....no no no....
leftists don't rehabilitate republicans, that's liberal behavior
When have leftists ever trusted MTG?
"We did kill Jesus. We did it because he didn't want to become a doctor. Someone found a note in the basement that read, "We did it. Love, Morty." - Lenny Bruce.
Assholes with this contrarian streak have seriously discredited the left over time. I want to say ‘the left are almost always right about all big things’ and that IS true except I think of these many moments of bigoted and misogynist cringe some do and it mars the whole project. Especially NOW.
I… don’t think you know what Leftist means.
shitlibs are not leftists, they are centrists that, at best, lean center-left. they are the ones who want a "bigger tent" that welcomes greene. HTH -O
Are... are there a lot of leftists arguing that we shouldn't hate MTG? Because all the ones I've ever met have been beating the drum that we absolutely do not have to let Nazis into the tent just because they fell out with Trump.
Cenk remains a ridiculous human being. There's absolutely no question about it: Marjorie Taylor Greene is antisemitic. Like... she's the "space lasers" lady. She's the Soros conspiracy lady. She's the "they killed Jesus" lady. What on earth is Cenk doing here?
Look, if Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to fight against Trump, great. Do that. Absolutely. Good luck. Cause chaos. Whatever. But absolutely no one on the left should be teaming up with her for anything.
cenk is doing what he always does: farming for attention
Cenk and Ana both got their brains boiled or have been compromised a long time ago
You’d think AOC was an airline worker, the way Cenk is going after her here.
people want to like MTG so bad and i just do not understand. she is a deeply contemptible human even before you take her politics into account
Going where he thinks he’ll get paid?
I hear she's doing "Ivermectin for hantavirus" these days too, which is fun.
There are two types of people who identify as Pro-Palestinian: people who genuinely care about the plight of people in Gaza, and people who use it as cover for their own anti-Semitism. Thinking Cenk is in the latter camp.
Trying to defend an antisemite’s antisemitism because he’s an antisemite too. It’s not complicated. Just like Matt Yglesias thinks it’s “bad strategy” for Dems not to be xenophobes, Cenk Uygur thinks it’s “counterproductive” to call out antisemites for hating Israel for the wrong reasons.
He’s giving air cover for a fellow antisemite.
Gonna be honest I thought you were talking about
Fuck TYT Cenk and Ana are transphobic gasballs who have drifted to the right just like every grifter they've ever produced who left for more money.
Cenk and Ana are selling out to the right. They are always quick to defend white supremacists like Tucker Carlson
Cenk is a different type of Sinema or Fetterman who got power wearing a progressive carapace but underneath it is just curdled and wrong.
Cenk doesn't hold any real values publicly. They twist and change in whatever way that benefits the Right while pretending to br against the Right. Mostly like a lot of the leftists they're just a way to hurt the Dems from the left.
“Jewish space lasers” lady, welcome to the Democratic party!! Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, we still hate your guts, leave the fucking party!
genuinely fucking weird that they're more receptive to blood libel than they are to somebody who thinks palestinians are human
Real wild compare contrast to see how ostensibly “left leaning people” react to MTG versus how they have been treating Hasan Piker One is a white supremacist Republican and the other is a streamer who doesn’t care for the Israeli government and you could never guess which one draws more outrage
A tent so big it can't keep anyone of value in it.
"We want to reflect the beliefs of our voters" "No, not those voters"
No redemption arc for her.
hopefully there’s also room for a fumigator in said tent
Liberals: "Will you darn black people shut up and stop complaining about Republicans bringing back the 3 5ths compromise? We're trying to kiss the ass of the extremely racist antivax nutjob Republicans!"
Ladies and Gentlemen…. The DEMOCRATS!
Greene’s welcome to be a democrat voter. Anything more please fuck all the way off.
I said about antivaxxers, like MTG, measles spreads really easily under a big tent.
Don't forget that you need to "vote blue no matter who" includes people with Nazi tattoos, Republicans, cannibals, and Richard Nixon at this point. But remember it's the communist's fault nobody votes for the zero calorie fascists in the DNC.
A tent so big it lets the rain in.
