Oddly, this sort of thing is the reason that I tend to think that MTG is not as stupid as she appears to be (and the reason I responded to an earlier thread on the subject to ask people what they thought her ratio of malicious to stupid was).

It actually all started with the Jewish space lasers thing, but this one reminded me of it.

She's clearly stupid (and angry - a common combination among her supporters too). But I just can't convince myself that she's so incredibly stupid that she actually believes this. I mean - there's stupid, but then there's so frighteningly stupid that she shouldn't have even been able to survive to adulthood, and this is much more toward the latter.

I guess anything's possible, but...

I think most of it is pure theater. She says stuff that makes her look batshit crazy, the media writes about, she gets attention. It's a win for her no matter how the public views it.

Saying stupid things =/= being stupid.

There's a reward for her behavior

Don’t waste your brain cells thinking about her.

If she were any dumber, she’d have to change her last name to Boebert.

She knows it's stupid, but so are the voters she's affecting with it. She's sacrificing credibility with some supporters, for supporters who get she's lying and like it and others who are stupid enough to eat it up.

Stop she thinks Dems have the power to create hurricanes, but then only choose to use that power to make it harder to vote?

Maybe I’m different kind of god, but I just vaporize my enemies directly

Guess Democrats aren't done. Othet hurricane is on its way to land fall. But come on if Democrats had this kind of god like power I think they be using it to win more elections and GOP be drown in bottom of the ocean.

It's such a weird flex. If Democrats (and only Democrats) can control the weather like that, then they clearly have wizard-like powers, and we need them to show the rest of us how they did it.

Of course, the same people would argue that weather is a hoax.
