Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tells supporters to drink raw milk

Georgia congresswoman and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene took a break from indicating “they” are weaponizing weather against Republicans to urge her supporters to drink raw milk.

“Raw Milk does a body good,” she posted Sunday on X. “Make America Healthy Again!”

Her message included a photo of a mason jar filled with a thick white liquid. Medical experts largely agree drinking raw milk is a bad idea.

“Symptoms of foodborne illness from raw milk can include diarrhea, stomach cramping, and vomiting,” according to the Centers for Disease Control. “In some cases, more severe outcomes like Guillain-Barré syndrome or hemolytic uremic syndrome can occur, potentially leading to paralysis, kidney failure, stroke, or even death.”

The FDA warns that raw milk could expose consumers to E. coli, Listeria and Salmonella.

Her “Make America Healthy Again” is a nod to fellow conspiracy buff Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recently catapulted himself into the MAGA movement with hopes of pushing his fringe views on medical science into the mainstream. There’s been heavy speculation among Donald Trump supporters that Kennedy could become the nation’s secretary of Health and Human Services if the 78-year-old Republican nominee wins next month’s presidential election.

Despite conventional wisdom, raw milk advocates persists, according to Healthline.com, which reported in June that “Raw milk Is having a moment despite growing health risks.”

 

Some reportedly speculate the strongly refuted theory that pasteurization removes nutrients.

Greene spent the past several days suggesting hurricane damage ravaging Republican districts are being directed by a vague “they” to influence next month’s presidential election.

“Yes they can control the weather,” she doubled-down Saturday after being mocked online for a similar comment she posted Thursday. “By the way, the people know it and hate all of you who try to cover it up.”

Greene also suggested lasers can be used to impact weather patterns Saturday. Before taking office in 2021, the 50-year-old lawmaker claimed space lasers operated by a prominent Jewish banking family may have been responsible for causing wildfires in California. She later hedged the latter comment.

Conspiracy Theory Alex Jones has urged Greene to run for president on his embattled “InfoWars” program.

“It’s not something I don’t consider,” she confessed in a 2022 interview.
