Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed 'Jewish space lasers' caused California wildfires
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed "Jewish space lasers" started major California wildfires, asserting Jewish actors used space-based weapons to ignite the blazes. Greene has also compared COVID-19 restrictions to the Holocaust and promoted claims that some school shootings were staged by crisis actors. Jewish groups and civil rights advocates called the assertion antisemitic and said elected officials pushing such conspiracies spread dangerous misinformation that threatens targeted communities.
Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today
Thembo168Whoops, you blamed leftists for something liberals are doing.
Daniel Tirebiter118Apparently I have very different leftists in my timeline than you do, only people I’ve seen praising MTG online are the same blue wave liberals on Facebook I see fawn over every MAGA shithead who has a falling out with Trump.
E the soc98Again, they wanted that "redeemed" white savior so badly.
jlindy.bsky.social62Ryan Grim is a fuckwad and always has been.
minnesotanational.bsky.social51AOC hates Israel because it's genocidal. MTG hates Israel because it's full of Jewish people. They are not the same.
Summer 🏳️⚧️35MTG is an anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist. There is no place for people like that in an effective movement.
Gallifreyan Jedi32are some leftists in the room with us right now
UNBAN LINK AND 864727… You think it’s *leftists* siding with MTG?
Marquis21Why did you make up people in your head and get mad at them? No leftists like MTG.
Dollop of Mayo 🫠19Who are these supposed leftists you're talking about?
Ruby, pretty ape machine16I'd argue that anyone who's enthused about the idea of letting ppl like MTG into their spaces are most emphatically NOT on the left no matter how much they claim to be they're center-right AT BEST, and more likely are just plain ol' right wing reactionaries
John Wallach14They only like cool bartenders that sling uppers as well as downers.
monarch of ashes14leftists don't rehabilitate republicans, that's liberal behavior
Dandy G🍌13Cenk isn’t a leftist, he and Ana Kasparian are at best liberals pretending to be leftists
𝙵𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚊 🏳️⚧️12that's why i don't trust non-Marxist leftists
Onnaise☭12When have leftists ever trusted MTG?
benwasserman.bsky.social11When did people on our side begin embracing Marjorie and attacking Ocasio-Cortez?
Gremlin11Please learn the difference between leftists and shitlibs.
JLaw, not Trisolaran9I have seen zero leftists doing this, and plenty of WELCOME TO THE RESISTANCE from the vote blue no matter who types. You must be very confused about what a leftist is.
Knave Murdok (TransCat)8It is insane that there’s anybody at all, let alone anyone on the left, who is caping for her. She deserves to be abandoned by everyone. She deserves to be shunned, even by our enemies. People like her have no place in a civilized culture. She’s only one of many who deserve this treatment.
R. Wm. "Ruedii" 🦊🐧 🥖🔞8AOC is not, and has never been an antisemite. She has never conflated her criticism of the Israeli regime with criticism of Judaism.
Sierra Furtwangler7I… don’t think you know what Leftist means.
Rabbit Cohen7Fucking hell, the number of people just outright denying the fact that there are leftists like this in your replies.
Nice Joe Greene6No idea what this is about and I'm happy with that.
Shin Megami TENS Unit6She is irredeemable, and I wish more people saw that. She is a straight-up antisemite, transphobe, homophobe, racist, xenophobe, ableist piece of shit. She only hates Trump because she believes in antisemetic conspiracy theories about Israel controlling Trump.
transsexual wizard (subclass: post-eau d'If)5shitlibs are not leftists, they are centrists that, at best, lean center-left. they are the ones who want a "bigger tent" that welcomes greene. HTH -O
LPDOak, CA5This is so weird though. Where is the redemption tour? She literally bemoans how Trump lost his way, she has even said she hopes he recalims his original "America First" promises She screams baby murderer at those that disagree with her. Just, no....no no no....
LuluLenin for Congress (D)5liberals aren't leftists hope this helps!
Kras Mazov4Democrat centrists are embracing antisemitism? Quick better jump online and blame the left to provide them cover.
GentleOx (Dave)4Are... are there a lot of leftists arguing that we shouldn't hate MTG? Because all the ones I've ever met have been beating the drum that we absolutely do not have to let Nazis into the tent just because they fell out with Trump.
Leigh Silverton, Ph.D. psychologist-writer3"We did kill Jesus. We did it because he didn't want to become a doctor. Someone found a note in the basement that read, "We did it. Love, Morty." - Lenny Bruce.
himham3Can you name the leftist claiming this?
Ozma3Assholes with this contrarian streak have seriously discredited the left over time. I want to say ‘the left are almost always right about all big things’ and that IS true except I think of these many moments of bigoted and misogynist cringe some do and it mars the whole project. Especially NOW.
Fynn Bytez 🔜 Furlandia3Oh my God did some "Leftists" fall for Greene again!? This is the second time btw. It's really should be shocking they fall for the known conspiracist, white supremacist Greene over AOC, a woman of color who actively engages with every minority group. It's not, but it should be. Aggravating!
FUPA Troopa3The fuck are you talking about? Who are these theoretical lefties?
Purple Stuff Preferer3What leftists are disagreeing with AOC for leftistly saying the very leftist thing leftists having been saying about this demon consistently since not getting endorsed for senate
Gayming Dwagon2I can promise you that no leftist sided with MTG unless they were a terminally online Marxist-Leninist.
Yozoo2Yeah not supporting Israel doesn’t make one an antisemite, but it’s certainly possible to be an antisemite and not support Israel.
Izzy, The Mothman2What the fuck are you talking about
Cenk remains a ridiculous human being. There's absolutely no question about it: Marjorie Taylor Greene is antisemitic. Like... she's the "space lasers" lady. She's the Soros conspiracy lady. She's the "they killed Jesus" lady. What on earth is Cenk doing here?
Parker Molloy633Look, if Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to fight against Trump, great. Do that. Absolutely. Good luck. Cause chaos. Whatever. But absolutely no one on the left should be teaming up with her for anything.
vanoreo30cenk is doing what he always does: farming for attention
husyelt.bsky.social14Cenk and Ana both got their brains boiled or have been compromised a long time ago
KC Says You Should Buy My Book12people want to like MTG so bad and i just do not understand. she is a deeply contemptible human even before you take her politics into account
Jesse Hawken10Remember that supremely embarrassing day where Cenk went to a TPUSA event and sucked up to Charlie Kirk on stage?
Ron Hogan10You’d think AOC was an airline worker, the way Cenk is going after her here.
This Guy I Guess7I hear she's doing "Ivermectin for hantavirus" these days too, which is fun.
bsdtectr6Going where he thinks he’ll get paid?
Now with dance mode!5There are two types of people who identify as Pro-Palestinian: people who genuinely care about the plight of people in Gaza, and people who use it as cover for their own anti-Semitism. Thinking Cenk is in the latter camp.
larelli4Cenk is a different type of Sinema or Fetterman who got power wearing a progressive carapace but underneath it is just curdled and wrong.
Minnesota Strong4Gonna be honest I thought you were talking about
N.S. Dolkart, vice chair4Trying to defend an antisemite’s antisemitism because he’s an antisemite too. It’s not complicated. Just like Matt Yglesias thinks it’s “bad strategy” for Dems not to be xenophobes, Cenk Uygur thinks it’s “counterproductive” to call out antisemites for hating Israel for the wrong reasons.
Justin4He’s giving air cover for a fellow antisemite.
junkwarrior97.bsky.social3Cenk and Ana are selling out to the right. They are always quick to defend white supremacists like Tucker Carlson
KEStrogen 🏳️⚧️3Fuck TYT Cenk and Ana are transphobic gasballs who have drifted to the right just like every grifter they've ever produced who left for more money.
RabidWuki3Cenk doesn't hold any real values publicly. They twist and change in whatever way that benefits the Right while pretending to br against the Right. Mostly like a lot of the leftists they're just a way to hurt the Dems from the left.
A People's Tribunal must prevail ⚖️ 🇵🇸 ⚖️2Cenk is an opportunist who appears to be as power & influence motivated as any of the Republicans who believe in nothing except themselves & their ill-gotten power.
LeftwardSwing ☭🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈 ♿2Cenk needs to go outside & breathe some fresh air. He's been losing the plot awhile now. He's far right adjacent at this point.
LemonCake2Cenk's only interest is what it's always been. Keep Cenk relevant and talked about.
Anoosh, organizer2👈🏽 Armenian AFAIK, this is who he has always been.
“Jewish space lasers” lady, welcome to the Democratic party!! Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, we still hate your guts, leave the fucking party!
Premium Steve79Real wild compare contrast to see how ostensibly “left leaning people” react to MTG versus how they have been treating Hasan Piker One is a white supremacist Republican and the other is a streamer who doesn’t care for the Israeli government and you could never guess which one draws more outrage
🪄🛸 Showbiz Sid Oozeley 🪄🛸70genuinely fucking weird that they're more receptive to blood libel than they are to somebody who thinks palestinians are human
my_random_name36Ladies and Gentlemen…. The DEMOCRATS!
Nayan Ramachandran28"We want to reflect the beliefs of our voters" "No, not those voters"
Fuss26A tent so big it can't keep anyone of value in it.
Your New Dad20Liberals: "Will you darn black people shut up and stop complaining about Republicans bringing back the 3 5ths compromise? We're trying to kiss the ass of the extremely racist antivax nutjob Republicans!"
TC 🅅16No redemption arc for her.
Marc McDonald15Greene’s welcome to be a democrat voter. Anything more please fuck all the way off.
charli 2C-x12She is welcome to vote for Democrats if she wants but she should not be allowed anywhere near voting on behalf of Democrats.
Corey Johnson (Too Many Tapes/Art of the Glitch)11A tent so big it lets the rain in.
Rhyno10She will ALWAYS be the nut job hounding a school shooting survivor down the street for clicks, to me. Fuck her.
JWMC (Artist)10I said about antivaxxers, like MTG, measles spreads really easily under a big tent.
Nichole Hiltz 🧡9What the actual fuck, Raskin 🤦♀️
Wikipedia Brown9No no no no no. I don’t care about how much buyer’s remorse she has. The enemy of my enemy is an ally and all, but only until the enemy is defeated.
Erik Sternberger9She just went all in on Ivermectin for hantavirus again as well.
Heads Up Brendan8hopefully there’s also room for a fumigator in said tent
Argent.7I am not interested in being part of any party that would have Marjorie Taylor Greene
Ash6Don't forget that you need to "vote blue no matter who" includes people with Nazi tattoos, Republicans, cannibals, and Richard Nixon at this point. But remember it's the communist's fault nobody votes for the zero calorie fascists in the DNC.
Timmy K.5I hope the democratic party enjoys their spacious empty tent!
Money Is Fake5“Maybe if we nUaNcE harder, people will finally realize we’re better than them!” - Democrats
Kent Lind3I welcome anyone and everyone to VOTE blue, including MTG. A vote is a vote. They all count the same. But she’s not remotely qualified to RUN FOR OFFICE as a Democrat and expect institutional party support. They are not the same thing AT ALL.
Drew2I'm feeling empowered to share my "turtles all the way down" theory of the universe more out loud!
in general i think to go from "jewish space lasers" to being widely accepted on the left, you'd need to do some actual, public soul-searching. but mtg is basically the same right-wing psycho, she's just broken from trump on a handful of issues.
SYN.exe14To say nothing of how viciously transphobic she remains. How she can be accepted by the left is such a critique of the mainstream left’s lack of foundational convictions and principles. They’re up to sell their values to “win” no matter how abstract their idea or winning has become
🌋Interesting Times Fan🌪2Isn't she just a QAnon truther about the Epstein files?
