MAGA Congressional Candidate Calls Texas Floods 'Fake': It's 'Murder'

A MAGA congressional candidate is facing backlash after spreading conspiracy theories about the deadly flash floods along the Guadalupe River in Texas.

Kandiss Taylor, who is running to represent Georgia in the House of Representatives, posted on X Saturday: “Fake weather. Fake hurricanes. Fake flooding. Fake. Fake. Fake.”

Her bizarre post came as authorities searched for dozens of people thought to have lost their lives in Texas’ flash floods. Of the 30 people confirmed dead so far, at least nine were children, and 27 girls are still missing from Camp Mystic, a riverside Christian camp in Hunt, Texas.

“This isn’t just ‘climate change.’ It’s cloud seeding, geoengineering, & manipulation,“ she added. ”If fake weather causes real tragedy, that’s murder. Pray. Prepare. Question the narrative.”

When she later acknowledged that tragedy had struck, someone in the comments called her out for walking back her earlier post. She wrote back: “I’m not walking back a thing. No one can control the way you raging liberals twist words. Brainwashed zombies.”

Such as:

*She has posted on X that Taylor Swift is a witch.

*When seeking to get the GOP nomination for GA governor a couple years ago, she made a it key plank in her platform to destroy the Georgia Guidestones (a new-age themed roadside art installation) because she believed they were a portal to hell. The artwork was later destroyed by persons unknown.

*Kandiss makes MTG look sane by comparison.
