Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene are two peas in a MAGA pod who say some of the most offensive, outrageous, and baffling things you’ve ever heard – so it’s not always easy to keep track of which MAGA extremists said what. That’s why today we’re testing whether or not you can even tell if it’s one far-right fanatic or the other based on some of their most deranged and out-of-touch statements.
#1: Who said Nikki Haley “no longer counts” as a Republican and said her supporters are “communists” who are “barred from the MAGA camp?”
“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to [Haley], from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them, and will not accept them.”
Haley supporters are “RINOs,” “never Trumpers,” and “communists.”
“I’m not sure we need too many [Haley supporters].”
Haley “never had a place [in the Republican Party].”
“Nikki Haley no longer counts” as a Republican.
Answer: Both Trump and Greene
#2: Who disparaged the men and women in our military?
“[Joining the military is] like throwing your life away.”
The Atlantic: “‘Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.’ In a separate conversation on the same trip, [this MAGA extremist] referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as ‘suckers’ for getting killed.”
Answer: Both Trump and Greene
#3: Who thinks there is a conspiracy to force Americans to eat “fake meat from Bill Gates” “that grows in a peach tree dish?”
“So you’ll probably get a little zap inside your body and then say, ‘No no, don’t eat a real cheeseburger, you need to eat the fake, the fake burger, the fake meat from Bill Gates.”
“You have to accept the fact that the government totally wants to provide surveillance on every part of your life. They want to know when you’re eating. They want to know if you’re eating a cheeseburger, which is very bad because Bill Gates wants you to eat his fake meat that grows in a peach tree [sic] dish.”
Answer: Marjorie Taylor Greene
#4: Who said the Civil War could be negotiated, people are flushing their toilets 15 times, and said a hurricane would be “tremendously wet?”
“The Civil War was so fascinating… it was just different. I just find it, I’m so attracted to seeing it. … There was something I think could have been negotiated.”
“I hate to say the three things. It’s the shower, it’s the sink, and you know the third element in the bathroom. But I don’t say it, because every time I say it, they only talk about that one… So I won’t talk about the fact that people have to flush their toilet 15 times. I will not talk about it. I’ll only talk about showers.”
“This is going to be a storm that’s going to be a very large one… It’s tremendously big and tremendously wet. Tremendous amounts of water.”
Answer: Donald Trump
#5: Who spews bizarre conspiracy theories about climate change?
“The Earth is more green than it was years and years ago and that is because of the Earth warming.”
“You have a thing called weather, and you go up and you go down. If you look into the 1920s they were talking about global freezing.”
Answer: Both Trump and Greene
#6: Who talks about the “gazpacho police” and says lasers are causing wildfires?
Washington Post: “[This MAGA extremist] referenced ‘Pelosi’s gazpacho police spying on members of Congress, spying on the legislative work that we do, spying on our staff and spying on American citizens that want to come talk to their representatives.’”
“Then oddly there are all these people who have said they saw what looks like lasers or blue beams of light causing the fires … If they are beaming the sun’s energy back to Earth, I’m sure they wouldn’t ever miss a transmitter receiving station right??!! I mean mistakes are never made when anything new is invented. What would that look like anyway? A laser beam or light beam coming down to Earth I guess. Could that cause a fire? Hmmm, I don’t know. I hope not! That wouldn’t look so good for PG&E, Rothschild Inc, Solaren or Jerry Brown who sure does seem fond of PG&E.”
Answer: Marjorie Taylor Greene
#7: Who complains more about wind power than about Vladimir Putin?
“I would like to watch the president on television tonight. I don’t think we will be able to. The wind is not blowing. So crazy.”
“If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer.”
“Please God don’t make me scrub clothes in a bucket and have to hang them out on a line when we switch over to wind turbines and solar panels… I like the lights on. I wanna stay up later at night. I don’t wanna have to go to bed when the sun sets. It’s so silly!”
