Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) shook the Internet Friday by suggesting that the New York earthquake and Monday’s impending eclipse were messages from God to repent.
The Georgia Republican took to X, formerly Twitter, on Friday and suggested there was a higher meaning behind natural phenomena.
She even dropped the G-word in her post.
โGod is sending strong signs to America to tell us to repent,โ she wrote. โEarthquakes and eclipses and much more to come.โ I pray that our country listens.

Although God was unavailable for comment (probably because he’s focused on picking the NCAA Tournament winners), people on social media offered their own take on Greene’s tweet.
Of course, one person noted that God might actually be sending a message, considering how close the quake was to former President Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club.
Greene’s former colleague, Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), tried to explain that eclipses are very common, as are earthquakes, and probably not signs of the afterlife.
Fun fact. There are about 3 solar eclipses per year worldwide and many earthquakes. Both events were predetermined during the creation of the universe.
The solar eclipse is not a sign. It’s just a really cool sight, if the clouds cooperate

Others shared their own thoughts.
Can someone borrow a middle school science project with planets made from Styrofoam balls and explain to Rep. Greene how the moon orbits the Earth and the Earth orbits the sun and sometimes they line up? It’s actually a very cool design. ๐๐โ๏ธ https://t.co/VgVYzExOJF

Earthquakes are caused by shifting tectonic plates, not because God is angry about gay marriage or anything else.

One person responded by attributing the current weather conditions to three of Greene’s most famous gaffes.
These were the Jewish space lasers controlled by Gazpacho’s police, targeting the dishes at Peach Tree on Capitol Hill.

Others have suggested that if God is sending a message, perhaps it is for Greene to “stop being a horrible person.”
Maybe God is telling you to do your job? Stop being a horrible person and politicizing a tragedy and go do your job and pass a bill or work on healing the issues that divide us?
You are a disgusting human and a worse government official. Want to know more ? Sickโ Christopher Hyre (Horoshak) (@ChrisHoroshak) April 5, 2024
Another person felt obligated to do a time check.
Have we simply fallen back into the Dark Ages?
