JD Vance Praises Marjorie Taylor Greene As A ‘Great Strong Woman Leader’—And Americans Are Absolutely Disgusted

Like two peas in a pod.

Time for a little brown-nosing, anyone? Seems like J.D. Vance was in the mood for doing this as he extolled the virtues of Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene earlier Friday. Who, just the night before, made another whackjob comment about the weather being controlled. As in: “Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”

Of course, it’s also ridiculous that Georgians voted for the Conspiracy Theory Queen, but here we are. But if “they” can control the weather, could you do me a favor, Marge? Ask them to turn down the humidity a notch in Central America, since I live here. So that my hands won’t melt into my keyboard?

That’s a pipe dream, of course, because anyone with the intelligence above that of a grape knows the weather can’t be controlled.

Unfortunately, that didn’t dissuade Ohio GOP Sen. J.D. Vance, who’s Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate from singing her praises during an event in Georgia. I’ve heard it said that “like attracts like.” Well, maybe it’s also true that stupid attracts stupid. That would explain Vance’s remarks.

“We have got another great, strong woman leader and Congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene. I know we’re in her district, where’s Marjorie? Please say hello. Now you may not know this but one of the very first endorsements and frankly the very first really important endorsement that I got was when I was running in the Republican Senate primary when I was running in Ohio a few years ago was from Marjorie Taylor Greene, so she has been a great friend of mine, she’s a loyal person and you guys have a hell of a Congresswoman here.”

This meeting of the minds has gone bankrupt and needs overdraft protection in the form of fact-checking.

Of course, @KamalaHQ noticed this and took to X (formerly Twitter) to draw our attention to Vance’s cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs brown-nosing (I know, I know, I said this earlier but really what else is he doing here?)

“JD Vance praises Marjorie Taylor Greene hours after she posted a conspiracy theory suggesting Hurricane Helene was man-made,” HQ noted.

This lit up social media and spurred plenty of commentary.

@BDeMayo quipped:

“Well, look, I was raised by my Meemaw, and she always told me when a Sasquatch speaks, you listen”

@Autarkh wrote:

“This is so idiotic but the irony is delicious. Qlorox Qaren believes the batshit conspiracy that “they” are directly controlling hurricanes, but denies the science that industrial emissions are affecting the climate.”

Vance may seem like an “aw shucks” down home sort but @KaySteinsapir explained why he is more dangerous than he appears.

“Who is “they”? I assume Jews but one never knows what these deranged people mean. JD is particularly dangerous because he makes the GOP’s racist, xenophobic, antisemitic, conspiracy theorist bullshit appear less extreme. I hope enough people see through it.”

Greene was zinged quite a bit in her original post as well.

“We know you’re the dumbest member of Congress. You don’t have to remind us of it every day.”

And one of my favorite peeps on X, @JoJofromJerz offered up this one:

Oh, and she also quipped:

“Do they do it with lasers in space?”

The fact that Vance and MTG can be this ludicrous reminds me of the famous quote by Mark Twain:

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

Still one of my favorite quotes from this remarkable man and it’s as true now as it was when he was alive.
