During a recent appearance on HBO’s *Real Time with Bill Maher*, Marjorie Taylor Greene ventured into strikingly unconventional territory, revealing a belief in the literal existence of demons – and suggesting they might be extraterrestrial in origin. The congresswoman posited that these entities could be fallen angels, cast down from heaven, sparking a moment of disbelief from fellow guest Michael Moynihan.
The conversation took another unexpected turn when Maher revisited Greene’s past promotion of a bizarre conspiracy theory involving space lasers and the Rothschild family. This 2018 social media post claimed California wildfires were ignited by a laser controlled by the prominent banking dynasty.
Greene admitted she was initially unaware of the Rothschild family’s Jewish faith, a detail that carries significant weight given the long history of antisemitic tropes associated with the family. She stated she hadn’t even used the word “Jewish” in the original post, claiming a lack of prior knowledge about the connection.
The interview also touched upon healthcare policy, specifically the Affordable Care Act. Greene passionately argued against the current system, asserting that American taxpayers are unfairly burdened with funding healthcare for others, including undocumented immigrants.
She criticized the influence of lobbyists in Washington, claiming they effectively write legislation for both Democrats and Republicans, hindering genuine progress. Greene called for a return to session, urging House Speaker Mike Johnson to allow Congress to address these issues directly.
Interestingly, Greene’s appearance garnered unexpected praise from some who previously opposed her. One X user commented, expressing surprise at her clear articulation of her positions, a departure from what they perceived as mere rhetoric. The user hoped this approach would inspire greater attentiveness to constituent concerns.
Greene has long been a vocal opponent of Obamacare, consistently arguing that it has placed an undue financial strain on the middle class and small business owners through escalating premiums. She placed blame on members of her own party for failing to enact meaningful reforms.
