Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been mocked after she criticized COVID-19 restrictions and said that "not a single school has closed" because of cancer.

"Every single year more than 600,000 people in the US die from cancer. The country has never once shut down. Not a single school has closed. And every year, over 600,000 people, of all ages and all races will continue to die from cancer," Greene wrote on Twitter on Saturday.

"Since #COVID19 tracking has started, 780,000+ people have died in 22 mo in the US, but more than 1 million still died of cancer," she said.

Several celebrity Twitter users responded by mocking the congresswoman for making the comparison, as it seemingly implied that cancer is contagious.

1. Not a single 'publican

has been tossed out of Congress for being an idiot.

2. And that seems to be contagious!

I’ve done my own research on the internet’s.

3. The lighbulb in her brain really

seems to need changing. I think it has burned out. Or maybe there's a short in the electrical system.

4. Her elevator doesn't go all the way to the top.

Once said of someone by famous football coach John Madden.

5. Actually she's wrong.

Scioto County Ohio just closed a middle school last year because of cancer due to radiation exposure.

Monroe Public Schools. Washington - closed off part of the building due to cancer causing materials in the building that were suspected of creating cancer cluster.

St Louis Park, Illinois - school closed because renovations would stir up asbestos dust. The school was being renovated specifically to remove materials they believe were causing cancer cluster in students and faculty. Ultimately they completely tore down the school and built a new one.

Sharonville, OH - a historic school was demolished after decades of suspected to be causing cancer cluster. During the construction of the new school, it was found radon was also a problem on the site. The construction was halted and a new school built on alternate land.

6. Well I've never seen no plants growing out of no toilet. nt

7. There is no cure for MTG!

8. LOL! Does she even realize what an absolute idiot she is?

Obviously not -- in my opinion. Who would publicly say something that stupid if they knew it was that stupid? Only an absolute idiot.

10. Dalton, GA must be a real shithole town

To elect her to congress

[jmowreader]

11. It's all the chemical fumes in the air

Dalton isn't a "shithole town." It is, however, the largest producer of carpet in the world. They produce so much carpet they had to open a second landfill just for carpet scraps. And if you've ever been around large quantities of new carpet, you know it reeks of chemicals.

12. Totally expected from her

Her one brain cell couldn’t see the faulty logic.
