Marjorie Taylor Greene sinks into deep thought, thinks real hard about who’s ‘killing’ Americans every single day

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has reminded us all why the phrase “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” applies so perfectly to both thinking out loud and having access to the internet.

Greene took to social media this week with what she surely believed was a blistering takedown of American foreign policy. In her post, she hammered at the decades-long failures of U.S. foreign intervention, which, in fairness, is a valid conversation to have.

The Vietnam War? A disaster. Iraq? No WMDs, just a lot of oil and regret. Afghanistan? Twenty years of pouring money into what can generously be called a geopolitical black hole. But then, as is Greene’s signature move, she took her argument and tossed it straight into the garbage disposal of credibility. Her post claimed that Saudi Arabia has nuclear weapons—a statement so wildly inaccurate that even middle schoolers learning about global politics could fact-check it. For clarity: Saudi Arabia does not have nukes. Not even close.

Greene is a sitting member of Congress, but that she’s on the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence. You’d think someone in such a position would have a basic understanding of which nations possess nuclear weapons (hint: it’s nine countries, and Saudi Arabia isn’t one of them). But clearly, expecting Greene to do her homework is like expecting a fish to compose a symphony.

Her defenders, of course, rushed in to suggest that Greene might have accidentally revealed classified information, implying that maybe the Saudis do have nukes, and she just slipped up. Perhaps the most revealing part of Greene’s foreign policy TED talk was her confession that she’s “never seen a Houthi.” Well, neither have most Americans seen a polar bear in the wild, but that doesn’t mean climate change isn’t real. But according to Greene’s logic, if you haven’t personally encountered something, it can’t possibly be a threat worth addressing. What’s particularly rich is that her BFF Donald Trump has been bragging about bombing those very same Houthis she’s dismissing.

So if it’s not the Houthis, who is the actual threat to Americans? According to Greene’s detective work, it’s drug cartels. “What has directly affected Americans is the cartels’ constant flow of drugs into every single city in America,” she proclaimed. International security and domestic drug policy aren’t mutually exclusive concerns—something most lawmakers figured out sometime around their first day on the job.
