Jewish space lasers, Part II
Mental health screenings should be mandatory to hold public office
When I wrote Jewish space lasers, Part I, a reader correctly pointed out that Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t explicitly blame literal Jewish space lasers for the California wildfires in 2018. Here is some clarifying information.
What's True
In a now-deleted Facebook post, Greene suggested laser beams from space may have started the 2018 California wildfires, and that among the entities behind this conspiracy were former California Gov. Jerry Brown, Pacific Gas & Electric, and Rothschild Inc., an investment firm frequently targeted by anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists.
What's False
Greene did not explicitly state that “Jewish space lasers” caused the fires.1
Greene and space lasers are interesting and make for a catchy headline. That isn’t the point of this essay series. The point of writing this series is to advocate for mental health screenings as a requirement for public office.
