As Hurricane Milton threatens catastrophic damage in Florida, the Georgia Republican suggested on X that such storms could be engineered by humans.

As President Joe Biden delivered a stark warning Wednesday about the dangerous hurricane barreling toward Florida, he shot down misinformation about the storm, including one particular conspiracy theory propagated by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene, the congresswoman from Georgia, is now saying the federal government is literally controlling the weather, we’re controlling the weather. It’s beyond ridiculous. It’s so stupid. It’s got to stop,” Biden said in televised remarks at the White House.

    TLDR; wrecking things is always easier than operating them in a controlled and predictable manner.
