The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon had a perfect comeback for far-right Republican Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene after her recent complaints about her colleagues in Congress.
Greene ranted over the weekend at the far-right nationalist organization Turning Point USA's AmericaFest about all of the "stupid people" in Washington.
Fallon had a perfect response that not only turned Greene's complaints back on her, but also referenced the multiple bizarre conspiracy theories she has publicly advocated over the years.

After relaying Greene's comments, Fallon added while imitating Greene:
“Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a meeting with Skylar, Lord of the Serpent Creatures.”
This is of course a reference to Greene's habit of publicly espousing absurd conspiracy theories related to QAnon, and the belief among many devotees of that movement that there is a race of secret reptile-human hybrids that rule the world.
Greene, of course, is also infamous for her "Jewish space laser" conspiracy theory that posits that various wildfires have been caused by... well, space lasers controlled by Jewish people.
Anyway! Greene was quite fired up during her speech at AmericaFest, held in Arizona.
Greene complained:
"I am sick and tired of the stupid people in Washington making horrible decisions, causing Americans to go broke."
She went on to say:
"The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and that's because we have stupid people in Washington, D.C., and I can say that for a fact because I work with many of them. And I'm not just talking about Democrats."
That's all pretty rich coming from a woman who thinks wildfires are started by space lasers, and is also reportedly a multi-millionaire. But whatever!
On social media, people loved Fallon's dig at MTG. But Greene's comments were far less popular.
Never change, MTG. Never change.
