Former President Donald Trump bungled his response to the coronavirus pandemic as the disease spread across the United States. However, the twice-impeached one-term president had a lot of help in spreading the disease that has taken so many American lives. Republicans have ranted against wearing protective face masks, and suddenly conservatives have gone full anti-vaxxer. We’re in a battle with COVID, and Republicans are siding with the coronavirus. One of those Republicans is controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The Georgia Republican has been fundraising off the fines she’s received for not wearing a mask on the House floor. And now she has launched a series of ridiculous tweets to blast vaccine mandates while comparing the virus and cancer’s death tolls, apparently unaware that cancer is not contagious, and COVID is. If stupidity were painful, girlfriend would be in the emergency room.
Behold:
1. Every single year more than 600,000 people in the US die from cancer.
The country has never once shut down.
Not a single school has closed.
And every year, over 600,000 people, of all ages and all races will continue to die from cancer.

Twitter users piled in.
Remind me which cancer is transmissible by air…?

There is no way the tweet below was tweeted for any reason other than the author wanting attention.
But what it’s outlined for me is how tremendously deadly COVID is (more than 350,000 US deaths this year) and also how effective cancer treatments and screenings are becoming. pic.twitter.com/IhktH9YiLP

Marjorie Taylor Greene fails to grasp that the government continues to impose smoking restrictions to protect the public against cancer.

Republicans are not sending their best, or maybe Marje is their best.
