Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has already gained a lot of attention for being an open believer of the QAnon conspiracy theory, is attracting more negative press for purporting a "scientific" theory.

As the USA suffers more closures due to the ongoing pandemic, Greene is a leading voice among conservatives advocating for an open economy, despite the risks it presents.


In a since-deleted tweet, Greene advocated for the opening of America via "science" that was reported by the CEO of Waffle House.

Not one to be outdone, Greene then reposted the tweet with a minor modification.

Immediately, this tweet was criticized and dragged across Twitter for the sheer audacity and ignorance it signifies.





The decision on which parts of the American economy to close have been hotly contested over the course of this year, as virus infections surge across the country with seemingly no end in sight.





Greene has consistently shared outlandish views about the nature of the virus and how America should be re-opened.

On a separate occasion, she tweeted she was forced to work out in her Washington, D.C. hotel room because "tyrannical Democrat control" had gyms closed.

At the time, D.C.'s gyms were open.





Greene's investment in the QAnon conspiracy theory shows the Congresswoman from Georgia's 17th district is not much interested in facts or evidence, and her Twitter account supports that.

It is unclear how this will translate into her work in the house, but the "Waffle House" science seems like an ominous start to a term.

Zelenskyy Drops Brutal Truth Bomb About Trump's 'Disinformation' After Trump Blamed Ukraine For Russian War

After President Donald Trump claimed Ukraine was at fault for the war with Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made an accurate observation about the "disinformation space" Trump lives in.

On Tuesday, Trump showed little patience for Ukraine’s objections to being left out of the U.S.-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia. He repeatedly stated that Ukraine’s leaders should never have let the conflict begin, suggesting Kyiv should have made concessions to Russia before its troops invaded in 2022.

People Are Trolling Trump Hard Thanks To MapQuest's New Customizable Map Tool

People are cackling after the mapping company MapQuest announced it has no intentions of changing the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America"—and instead has created a "Gulf Map Generator" that allows people to troll President Donald Trump by renaming the body of water however they'd like.

On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order changing the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America." The order also reversed an Obama-era decision and changed the name of the Alaskan mountain "Denali" back to "Mount McKinley."
