Republicans and Worse Republicans

  

"A series of falsehoods and threats have swirled in the two weeks since Hurricane Helene tore through six states causing

 followed by Milton 

 crashing into Florida  

on Wednesday."

"Katie Nickolaou, a Michigan-based meteorologist, said that she and her colleagues have borne the brunt of much of these conspiracies, having received messages claiming  

there are category 6 hurricanes (there aren’t), 

 that meteorologists or the government are creating and directing hurricanes (they aren’t)  

and even that scientists should be killed 

 and radar equipment be demolished. "


(Wrong.) 


'several of Trump’s closest allies have baselessly asserted that the federal government is somehow controlling hurricanes. 

 “Hurricane Helene was an ATTACK caused by Weather Manipulation,” claimed a video shared by 

 Michael Flynn, a former national security advisor to Trump.

“Yes they can control the weather,” 

 Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right congresswoman" 


(And They Control far right Lunatics)
