"Yes they can control the weather. It's ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can't be done." This claim by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene reflects a growing trend of conspiratorial thinking within segments of the right wing, even amid natural disasters.
As the fierce succession of destructive hurricanes battered the Southeast, Greene's assertion morphed from a fringe theory into a focal point for MAGA supporters, showcasing how misinformation can gain traction during crises.
President Biden found it necessary to publicly refute the weather-control conspiracy theory, illustrating its reach and the impact of such unfounded claims on public discourse and reaction to natural disasters.
The right's weather conspiracy claims have not only drawn widespread attention but have also resulted in targeted harassment toward individuals, particularly Jewish officials involved in disaster response efforts, further complicating the narrative.
