Greene says she no longer believes QAnon conspiracy theory

During her appearance on "The View" on Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said she no longer believes in QAnon, which she has supported and promoted for years.

When asked by co-host Sunny Hostin if she's still a believer, Greene waved her hand.

"Oh I went over that a long time ago," she replied.

"So you've changed?" Hostin said back.

"Well no, I haven't changed," Greene said. "I was a victim, just like you were, of media lies and stuff you read on social media. You all have attacked me many times on this show because of things you've read about me that weren't true, or clips you've seen."

When co-host raised the point of "Jewish space lasers," an aspect of QAnon that Greene has repeated before, Greene replied, "Not even true. Yeah, that's been rebuffed."

Greene posted and has since deleted a post on Facebook about "Jewish space lasers," an antisemitic conspiracy theory that suggests California wildfires were caused by lasers linked to the Rothschilds, a family that has been falsely connected to other antisemitic conspiracy theories for over two centuries.

When asked by a BBC News reporter in March 2024 about the conspiracy theory, she told the reporter to "f‑‑‑ off."

After reporters found Greene's posts in 2021, she apologized at a Republican conference that same year. Along with the space lasers claim, Greene also promoted the QAnon-related claim that past school shootings were staged. She apologized for that too at the same conference and received a standing ovation.

While on "The View," Greene suggested President Trump, who has also promoted QAnon-linked phrases online, might not "love" her back.

“Donald Trump, he usually yells at everybody, so we’re all used to it,” Greene said. “But he’s the president of the United States."

Although Greene has called Trump her "favorite president," she has broken with the Republican Party in recent weeks, particularly over the government shutdown. She recently called GOP detractors “pathetic Republican men” and “mostly paid social media influencers” for criticizing her appearances on "The View" and HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher."

She also pushed back on claims that her politics have changed. Among those who have said so was Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who said Greene has become "very liberal."

“Everybody’s like, ‘Marjorie Taylor Green has changed,'” Greene exclaimed to "The View" hosts. “And I’m like, oh no, nothing has changed about me. I am staying absolutely, 100 percent true to the people that voted for me, and true to my district."
