Marjorie Taylor Greene Tweets Predictably Fact-Free Theory About Highland Park Massacre

https://www.thedailybeast.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-tweets-predictably-fact-free-theory-about-highland-park-massacre



Police have released very little information about the person of interest in the Highland Park parade shooting, but Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) thinks she has it all figured out.

The conspiracy-minded congresswoman took to Twitter to somehow blame “Big Pharma” for the tragedy. “When are we going to have an honest conversation about drug abuse, mental illness, and SSRI’s [antidepressants]??? And deadly side effects. Are we really going to keep pretending?” she tweeted.



To be clear, no one in any position of authority has said the man in custody, Robert Crimo, is a drug user or has a mental illness diagnosis, and his uncle said he knew of no such problems.

He wore a Finnish hate symbol on his jacket and flashed in his videos.

He obviously hate Democrats because the people in his town voted for a Democrat over his Republican daddy.

He's mediocre at best.

He loves trump.

He's a match made in heaven for you, maybe you can give him and rottonhouse a job.

Here Marge let me help you: "WHEN ARE WE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT GUNS???" There, that wasn't so hard was it.

I'd also bet that she has no intention of ever supporting measures that increase funding for mental health in this country.

Any given population has X percentage of young men who are alienated, angry, and mentally unstable.

Saturate that population with cheap, readily available semi-automatic firearms, and the number of those young men who can and will act with those weapons increases.

10. She knows it's all bullshit. Surprised she didn't blame it all on vaccines.

She is a cynical, calculated liar who has a staff of handlers that guide her on how to push the buttons of stressed out, unsophisticated people.

You know the one with microchips controlled by Bill Gates. Obviously the shooting spree was controlled through the implanted microchip and is part of a sinister plot to spur gun control.


MTG is slacking off. She needs to amp up the insane conspiracy theories if she wants to remain America's Lunatic

You can't get much more political than that, Marjorie! This is the kind of crazy person that Trump attracts, and you are included in that list!
