People Have Jokes About Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Insane ‘Jewish Space Lasers’ Conspiracy Theory

A lot of very funny people had a lot of funny jokes on Twitter Thursday night at the expense of Georgia Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, causing the term “Jewish Space Laser” to trend. Like this one:

Don’t worry, we’ll get to more of those jokes in just a second. First, we need to explain just what the heck is happening.

Now, Greene is well known for holding extremist, racist and antidemocratic political views and for promoting a litany of insane conspiracy theories including QAnon. But on Thursday an old Facebook post, resurfaced by Media Matters, revealed what may be her most insane — and most racist — conspiracy theory of all: That lasers controlled by Jewish people caused the 2018 California wildfires.

No, really. In the now-deleted post, preserved by Media Matters, Greene wrote that there were “too many coincidences to ignore” regarding the fires, and opined that they weren’t a natural phenomenon at all. Instead, and we swear we aren’t kidding, she theorized that: 1) the Rothschilds, a wealthy Jewish family frequently mentioned by Nazis and other racist groups who advance horrific anti-Semitic conspiracy theories; 2) Teamed up with PG&E and the government of California; 3) To deliberately cause the fires using; 4) A laser from space; 5) In order to clear out land for a high speed rail line.
