Marjorie Taylor Greene Says ‘They Can Control The Weather,’ Promoting Conspiracy About Hurricane Helene
Right-wingers have long promoted wild theories about weather control, and Greene, a Donald Trump ally, gave them a big boost.

“Yes, they can control the weather,” Greene wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, Thursday evening. “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”
“This is a map of hurricane affected areas with an overlay of electoral map by political party shows how hurricane devastation could affect the election,” Greene wrote Thursday morning, seeming to accuse Democrats of manufacturing a storm to kill hundreds of their fellow Americans, and render thousands more homeless, as part of a scheme to make Republican voters unable to participate in next month’s elections.
The map Greene posted appears to have been created by Matt Wallace, a dodgy crypto influencer and conspiracy theorist with over 2 million followers on X. “This took me a long time to make!” Wallace wrote on Sept. 30, posting an image of the map. “I created map showing the path of destruction of Hurricane Helene with an overlay of the 2020 election results... The storm seemed to almost methodically miss the bluest parts of those crucial swing states, while simultaneously ravaging the red parts. What a crazy coincidence!”
