Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s recent comments about government surveillance and cheeseburgers are wildly unhinged even by her standards.
The first term Congresswoman, who last week won her Republican primary, delivered the remarks during a broadcast of “MTG Live,” her social media streaming broadcast.
It’s too bad Saturday Night Live is on hiatus — they wouldn’t have had to change a word.
In the 35-second clip, Greene rails against the government for wanting to closely monitor every aspect of Americans’ lives, including, “when you go to the bathroom, if your bowel movements are on time or consistent.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Greene also mistakenly referred to a petri dish as a “peach tree dish” — she is from Georgia, after all. But that’s hardly the most puzzling thing she says.
“They want to know when you are eating,” she said, “they want to know if you are eating a cheeseburger which is very bad because Bill Gates wants you to eat his fake meat that grows in a peach tree [sic] dish.”

Gates has urged wealthy countries to reconsider their beef consumption due to the environmental cost of its production.
Tumbling further down the rabbit hole, Greene predicts Americans will receive a “zap” from the government if they eat meat.
“You will probably get a little zap inside your body and that is saying ‘no, no, don’t eat a real cheeseburger, eat the fake burger,’ the fake meat from Bill Gates,” Greene said.
Here’s what twitter had to say:
Sorry. I can’t sleep because I’m trying to imagine the image @RepMTG conjures in her mind when she says @BillGates has a peach tree dish with fake meat growing in it.
And people vote for her? If they really cared about her they’d put her in a hospital.— Ken Olin (@kenolin1) May 31, 2022
It has been speculated that @repmtg's amazingly moronic malapropisms ("Nazi Gazpacho Police," "Marshal Law," "Colombus Day") are intentional.
I think this is settled.
No.
She just decried fake meat made in a "Peachtree Dish."
She's just a fucking moron pic.twitter.com/XCUEomvxPL

If someone serves me meat Bill Gates grew in a peach tree dish, I will *immediately* call the Gazpacho Police.
Don’t even think about it. https://t.co/nLt1hnBuAe

I owe @RepMTG an apology. I have been mocking her intellect using example after example of her stupidity, not realizing that she’s actually someone who thinks things are made in a “peach tree dish.” Yes. She’s…THAT stupid…and deserves our profound sympathy. Apologies. https://t.co/QheZgo1Jgc

So much going on here. The mtg Live logo. "Peach tree" dish. Not knowing why Bill Gates advocates for eating less beef. But the paranoia gets to me. This nutcase is so crazy. And she's not just in congress, but is looked up to by lots of fellow nuts to whom it all makes sense. https://t.co/AOK75UBsBE

The Peach Tree dish was named after a German inventor and bacteriologist who took long naps under a peach tree. He would often wake up with rotting peach pits stuck to him. The rotting peaches gave him the idea for a dish to hold growth medium in which cells can be cultured.

This isn’t the first time Greene has peddled in conspiracy theories. In 2018, before being sworn into Congress, she infamously questioned whether the Rothschilds, a Jewish banking family long targeted by antisemitic conspiracy theories, had secretly started devastating California wildfires with space lasers.
Mister P
If there is a god he wouldn’t have made her so stupid! So there can’t be a god.
Mr. Stadnick
Peach tree dish! That is so insane its beautiful. Needs to be a drag name.
Fname Optional Lname
That is the first thing that came to mind……..Peach Tree Dish will be on Drag Race for sure. Let’s just be thankful she doesn’t homeschool her children.

How do you make it through a college degree and not know what a petrie dish is?
ZzBomb
I don’t think she ever attained a college degree did she?
johncp56
I,m a high school drop out and I know where you grow cultures forgive my spelling,. her moose knuckle of a brain is a petrie dish of what is wrong with the GOP

Marjorie Taylor Greene has a BBA (bachelor’s in business administration) from the University of Georgia, the flagship university of the state of Georgia. So as stupid as she is, she does have a college degree. Then again, George W. Bush, a complete moron, got a BA from Yale and an MBA from Harvard, and Don the Con somehow left the University of Pennsylvania with a BA, so anything clearly is possible.
kish
I think she has s business degree from U of GA

I sincerely cannot believe actually vote for this idiot? How embarrassing to be from her district.
johncp56
Says a lot about that District

As my grandma used to say, “Oh, marrone.” Indeed.

And to think that MTG has spawned 3 children. How many more bred by her siblings? Morons multiplying by the dozen. No wonder the US is in the state it is!

The peach tree dish probably was an auto correct but the one that gets me that is no mistake is:
Marjorie Taylor Greene Predicts Straight People Will Soon Be Extinct.
She’s so stupid she doesn’t know that you’re born the way you are, sexually. In her case she chose to be stupid.
humble charlie
i’d enjoy meat that tasted like peaches. does she know something we don’t?
Invader7
The bat shittery of MTG & by extension the GQP gets more deranged by the day. Miss Thang thinks heteros will become extinct? She needs to do some back of the envelope arithmetic . The cheese slid off of her crackers a loooong time ago !!!
miller2900
…. I don’t know what is worse, this miserable excuse of a “female human” or the “low intellect people” that voted for her…… that she could care less about (no different than Trump’s voters I guess). All those jokes I heard as a kid about the low intellect levels of southern people might not have been jokes after all???
Essie
It wasn’t a joke. Take a look at any survey entitled “Dumbest States in the U.S.” and all of them will be in the Southern U.S. That’s a fact.
Tombear
The movie “Deliverance” was filmed in Georgia. Does MTG’s husband tell her to squeal like a pig? I know the toothless guys vote for her.
