Move over, Paula Patton — Marjorie Taylor Greene may have just taken the title of America’s Most Unjustifiably Proud Chef. On Thursday, the conspiracy theory-loving Georgia congresswoman posed with her Thanksgiving turkey, which, like so many of her crackpot theories, looked woefully undercooked. The internet, of course, noticed.
this turkey is so white and unseasoned that it tried to overthrow the government pic.twitter.com/nwH61yRPi2

Why does @RepMTG look so proud of an unseasoned, dried out Turkey? https://t.co/dSbx9peyEW

The irony of just how white the turkey was was not lost on anyone:
@RepMTG is so racist she even makes sure her turkey is white. https://t.co/qXPsfMzy1q

Your turkey is so white, Ben Shapiro wants a picture with it.
It is so white, it asks darker ones if they’re living in this neighborhood.
It is so white, it calls the cops on bird watchers.
It’s so white it likes you. pic.twitter.com/pFDn5ZRBuE— DrummingMonkey (@drumming_monkey) November 25, 2022
Man, @RepMTG even wants her turkey to be all white. https://t.co/ksgYynGP1t

@RepMTG Wow! You really are afraid of brown skin! That is the most disgusting in-appetizing Turkey I’ve ever seen. White supremacy runs deep in MTG. pic.twitter.com/LzmCCg5czy

Some people were shocked by how such a culinary abomination could have even happened:
How did you manage to cook a turkey that looks dried out and undercooked and not at all browned all at the same time?! Gross! pic.twitter.com/d75ByhJgx6

Guessing games were made of the instant meme:

While others seemed concerned about the well-being of whoever at this pan full of food poisoning waiting to happen:
@RepMTG where tf is the seasonings? How many people ended up in the hospital because they choked on that dry ass turkey! pic.twitter.com/2f7IuHs6qW

And many people helpfully pointed out to Greene what a turkey should look like when properly seasoned and browned:

There’s always next year — provided her turkey doesn’t plot an insurrection in the meantime.
Additionally, it’s probably worth noting that Greene’s Twitter was just reinstated a few days ago, so this marks one of her first “viral” moments since being allowed back in the platform by Elon Musk, who seems hellbent on allowing everyone ever banned from Twitter back on — well, except Alex Jones.
One account Musk has said he won’t allow back on Twitter is that of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who was banned in 2018 for abusive behavior.
“My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat,” Musk tweeted Sunday in response to calls for Jones’ reinstatement. “I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”
