- 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.

- 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.'
