“Yes, eclipses are predictable and earthquakes happen and we know when comets are passing by, however God created all of these things and uses them to be signs for those of us who believe, “Greene stated.
The far-right Republican frequently makes news with her remarks. When questioned about a conspiracy theory she had promoted, the Donald Trump fan cursed at a British journalist at the conclusion of an on-camera interview in March.
Additionally, Greene cut off President Joe Biden’s speech during his State of the Union address, prompting him to make spontaneous statements regarding the death of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, whose case has been a focal point in this election year’s immigration issues.
