Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) doubled down on her claim that Friday’s New York-New Jersey earthquake was a “sign from God” to “repent.”
Earlier this week, a 4.8 magnitude rocked the tri-state area with the shaking of homes and commercial buildings. The epicenter of the earthquake was in New Jersey, just a few miles away from former President Donald Trump’s National Golf Club.
In the immediate aftermath of the event, the Georgia lawmaker sent out a tweet claiming that God had sent the earthquake has a “sign” for the United State to “repent.” She also claimed the eclipse was another sign from God that the country needs to ask for forgiveness.
“God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come. I pray that our country listens,” Greene wrote X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday.
Greene’s post received a community appearing under her original post that read, “Monday’s eclipse was predicted hundreds of years ago, it will not have been caused by contemporary actions.”
She added onto her statement in a Sunday message to followers on X, citing biblical passages to back up her claims of divine intervention.
“Many have mocked and scoffed at this post and even put community notes,” Greene continued. Jesus talked about that in Luke 12:54-56.”
“Yes eclipses are predictable and earthquakes happen and we know when comets are passing by, however God created all of these things and uses them to be signs for those of us who believe,” she concluded.
