\u201cYes they can control the weather,\u201d she tweeted<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can\u2019t be done.\u201d<\/p>\n She\u2019s been at this for a long<\/em> time: In 2018, amid an earlier spate of California wildfires, and before she was a member of Congress, Greene shared a long-winded theory on her Facebook<\/a> blaming what can most succinctly be described as \u201cJewish space lasers.\u201d (Her theory is a lot to unpack, but it’s an early case study in Greene doing her “own research.” She felt there were “too many coincidences to ignore” and yarnwalled the Rothschild family, unattributed anecdotes that “all these people” saw “what looked like lasers or blue beams of light causing the fires,” insider trading, and outer space into her speculation. Does the whole thing end with a shrugging emoji? You know it!)<\/p>\n This time, even hardcore Republicans are begging the congresswoman to hush. Texan Bo French<\/strong>, chairman of the Tarrant County Republican Party, the largest purple county in the U.S., brags in his bio on X (formerly Twitter) about his goal of \u201cmaking Tarrant County inhospitable to Democrats.\u201d Same team as Greene, ideologically. But French responded to Greene\u2019s post<\/a> with an exasperated-sounding tweet of his own, reading in part, \u201c\u200b\u200bIt doesn’t work like that. They can’t just manufacture rain out of thin air.\u201d<\/p>\n And as for who \u201cthey\u201d are, the mysterious entity Greene has repeatedly claimed controls the weather? We have a few educated guesses of who she means, based on her body of conspiracy theory work.<\/p>\n
