Just when you thought that Vladimir Putin receiving one U.S. lawmaker’s support would be the only significant Marjorie Taylor Greene news to slip out this week, she’s dropped a squeaker before the holiday weekend. It’s also worth noting, before we jump into this, that Greene’s known linguistic screwups. She recently accused Nancy Pelosi of running the “Gazpacho Police,” and she claimed that Bill Gates used a “peach tree dish” to make “fake meat.”
Now, Greene has moved on to questioning the death of Michael Stenger, the Senate sergeant-of-arms who became the former Senate sergeant-of-arms on January 7, 2021, following criticism over his handling of security during the insurrection. As NBC News reports, Stenger was found dead earlier this week, although his death his not considered suspicious by authorities. Fox News further reported that Stenger died of cancer (at age 71), but that hasn’t stopped the QAnon crowd from making sh*t up because they believe he knew something, and that someone wanted to take care of him before his Jan. 6 hearing testimony.
QAnon head cheerleader Marjorie Taylor Greene is on board with this wildly dangerous conspiracy theory. In a video posted by federal lawyer Ron Filipkowski, Greene used the made-up word “suicided” as well as the term “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome” to plant seeds of how a 71-year-old man, reported to have cancer, couldn’t have simply died:
“He has died mysteriously and we don’t know anything about his death. We know that he died on June 27. We know that he was 71 years old. But we have no report of why he died. Did he have a heart condition? Was it Sudden Adult Death Syndrome? Did he have cancer? Did he have some other medical issue that tragically led to his death? Did he commit suicide? Was he suicided? We have no idea. We do know that we’re concerned about this… We think the public deserves to have answers.”
Marge Greene tonight suggests former Senate Sgt-at-Arms Michael Stenger may have been murdered to cover up something he knew about J6: “He has died mysteriously and we don’t know anything about his death. Did he commit suicide? Was he suicided? We deserve to have answers.” pic.twitter.com/rYcbrlADfs

As Filipkowski points out, the term “suicided” is, in fact, a made-up word that’s tied to conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s jail-cell death. Marge’s suggestion here is that Stenger knew something that Democrats didn’t want the world to know.
“Suicided” was a term QAnon people came up with to suggest that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered by Democrats.

Let’s just say that the head-scratching has commenced in earnest out there. People are hung up on why Greene’s conspiracy theory-riddled mind not only tossed out “suicided” but also this thing called SADS that’s also surfaced in Covid-related conspiracy theories.
Love the cross around her neck. “Was he suicided?” Jesus wants to know.

When did suicide become a verb?

Was he suicided? What? You mean murdered?
— Charles Jenkins (@chipjenkins_72) July 1, 2022
“Suicided”? The rest of us would just say murdered … but Marge is well-known for suiciding the English language. (Did I do it correctly?)

‘He died from natural causes at his home in Falls Church, Virginia, on June 27, 2022, aged 71. He had been diagnosed with cancer.’ . . . it was brutal research, taking nearly 5-6 seconds to look up . . .

You people are hung up on “suicided”… when I’m hung up on “Sudden Adult Death Syndrone”… Is that a real thing? Is there a vaccine??? Is it contagious??? I know it’s gonna get me… I just know it…

And here’s the next progression, apparently. TGIF!
She is so close to asking “Why is water wet? Where does the sun go when it disappears every night? Why is Greenland so huge on maps when scientists say it’s actually a lot smaller? If stars are so far away, why can we still see them?”
