WASHINGTON — As President Joe Biden delivered a stark warning Wednesday about the dangerous hurricane barreling toward Florida, he shot down misinformation about the storm, including one particular conspiracy theory propagated by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

"The claims are getting even more bizarre. Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a congressman with Georgia, is now saying the federal government is literally controlling the weather — we're controlling the weather. It’s beyond ridiculous. It’s got to stop," Biden said during a virtual briefing at the White House as he received updates about Hurricane Milton. The storm is expected to make landfall in Florida later Wednesday and could be catastrophic for the region.

Greene said in an Oct. 3 post on X: "Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done." One of Greene's GOP colleagues, Rep. Carlos Giménez of Florida, wrote in response on X Wednesday morning: "Humans cannot create or control hurricanes. Anyone who thinks they can, needs to have their head examined."

Around the same time as Biden's briefing on Wednesday, Greene repeated her claim and suggested that the federal government is aware of it.

1. to be fair to MTG

she might have meant the Jews.

[Sessuch]

14. Why do we pay any attention to MTG?

Just ignore her utterances

[keithbvadu2]

2. Marjorie, Why can't you republicans control the weather?

Marjorie, Why can't you republicans control the weather?

Are you stupid?

God won't let you?

20. MTG is working on it.

Still trying to work out if it is better to just nuke these wind demons, or zap them with her Jewish Space Lasers.

All class she is, MTG is unique! (and not in a nice way)

[dweller]

3. Oh Joe , she's not a congressman from GA

She’s a bleach blonde
bad built
butch body
congressperson



✌🏻

7. Thanks for the reminder.

[hadEnuf]

4. Is there a 25th Amendment type clause for congress people?

She's clearly mentally ill and unfit to serve.

She is also a violent subversive & traitor who was up to her turkey neck in J6.

[Torchlight]

5. GOP has this whole science thing figured out.

When a natural tragedy hits a blue state, it's just God illustrating his displeasure. When a natural tragedy hits a red state, it's just the Democrat's using the Secret Weather Machine. And when a natural tragedy hits an unpopulated region, well... then it's just weather and be easily treated with a sharpie held by a very soft, very pink hand.

6. Ironic how God does not mind when republicans are child molesters.

8. Joe Poseiden controls the weather...

[Collimator]

11. How is that the Greek gods are always so cut?

Do they have a Planet Fitness location atop Mount Olympus?

I mean, they already have divine superpowers, why do they need muscles?

(Not that I'm complaining; Joe looks fine.)

[IbogaProject]

9. I liked what Jimmy Kimmel said

"If the Government can control the weather they'd have landed a house on of you already, you wicked witch."

[BlueKota]

15. OMG

That's funny

[zipplewrath]

10. But not global warming

So humans can control the weather, but they can't be responsible for climate change.

[AngryOldDem]

12. Crazier thing I heard...

Alex Jones is saying Kamala Harris is controlling it.

I thought that bankrupt piece of shit was gone. Un-fucking-believable that there are people who believe what Trump is spewing. Jesus Christ himself could come down from above, back up everything that Biden said, and they still would follow Trump.

Has MTG moved on from the “Jewish space lasers”?

I’m glad Biden did not pull his punches. What that orange fuck doing is seditious.

[keithbvadu2]

21. "Jesus Christ himself could come down from above"

[dchill]

13. "...needs to have their head examined."

Probably ought to do some blood tests, too.

[BlueKota]

16. Does her head really need to be examined?

We already know it's empty.

[dchill]

22. Yeah, I don't know. I think it's half full of snakes and bees...

...and they're NOT getting along.

[BlueKota]

23. 🤣

[IronLionZion]

17. If the US government was able to control the weather

why use it to punish Florida twice every year?

[RussBLib]

18. the story left out something I saw Biden say

...after he said "it's beyond ridiculous" he also said, "it's STUPID."

Time to let the f-bombs out of the bag, Joe. You're on your way out. Cut loose. Let them have it. He should have said, "it's FUCKING STUPID!"

19. Life is so easy

when you just know - because you have been told - that everything that is wrong in your life, is caused by them others!

Your TV goes off and you are getting wet because the roof blew off?

Harris did that!
Sent the wind and the rain to your address, she did.

Who to vote for though? (If you survive that long)

Harris and the Dems are obviously out to get you, and Trump is no longer making any sense.
His translators just look away and shrug their shoulders these days.
Those who do bother to repeat Trump, now say . . . hang on, we may have been wrong on a few things!

Best not to vote, even though the power is still off and you are still getting wet, and it isn't likely to get any better because FEMA can't help, they gave away all their money to a few invading furriners, you know!

Sucks to be you, really.
