Quick Glance: Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'Repent' Earthquake Tweet Sparks Internet Reactions
- Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) shook up the internet on Friday by suggesting the earthquake in New York and Monday’s pending eclipse were messages from God to repent.
- Although God was unavailable for comment (probably because he’s focused on picking winners for the NCAA Tournament), folks on social media offered their own takes on Greene’s tweet.
- One person noted that God may indeed be sending a message, considering how close the quake came to former President Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club.
- Others suggested that if God is sending a message, maybe it’s for Greene to 'stop being a horrible person.'
