Far-right Congresswoman and prominent conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia was stripped of her committee assignment after her prior support for deranged conspiracy theories and even the execution of her eventual colleagues came to light.

That hasn't stopped Greene from delivering bizarre diatribes on the House floor, as was the case earlier this week.


In comments this Wednesday, Greene railed against the Green New Deal—a set of non-binding policies to combat the climate crisis supported by most progressives in Congress.

In one moment, Greene used a Scooby Doo meme template to make the questionable claim that the Green New Deal only represented the interests of China, the nation responsible for the highest CO2 emissions in the world.

Watch below.

The meme shows Fred from Scooby Doo removing a Green New Deal mask from a captive to reveal the flag of the Soviet Union.

Greene said:

"This is a simple meme that you would find on the internet but this meme is very real. The Green New Deal, surprise, serves China and China only."

Unfortunately for Greene, photo and video editing software is widely available, which allowed social media users to edit the footage to target the Congresswoman's conspiracy theories and belligerent rhetoric.



People, including some of Greene's own Republican colleagues, found her latest diatribe dangerously idiotic.




Ruh-roh.

Ted Cruz Details How Trump Reacted After Elon Musk Tweeted That He's In The Epstein Files Amid Their Public Fallout—And Yiiikes

The relationship between tech investor Elon Musk and MAGA Republican President Donald Trump might be best described as complicated. Musk and Trump teamed up for the 2024 election over their shared White nationalism.

In the immediate aftermath of the inauguration, Musk held a major role in the second Trump administration, heading up the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that slashed appropriated funds' budget line items from agencies and departments across the federal government—something only Congress has authority to do—often based on a label of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) assigned by AI output and carried out by untrained, unqualified "tech bros."

'Practical Magic' Star Evan Rachel Wood Reveals Nobody From Original Film Reached Out To Her Before Her Role Was Re-Cast For Sequel

When Practical Magic 2 was announced last year, fans were ready to head back to the Owens family home—but apparently, not everyone from the original cast got the invitation.

The sequel picks up 25 years after the 1998 cult classic, with Joey King and Maisie Williams taking over as Kylie and Antonia Owens, the daughters of Sandra Bullock’s Sally. The recasting hasn’t exactly worked its magic on everyone, with fans complaining about Evan Rachel Wood and Alexandra Artrip being replaced in the roles they originated.
