Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene took to Twitter on Sunday to share a disturbing and chilling experience she had over the weekend.
Greene tweeted: “Last night in my DC residence, the television turned on by itself and the screen showed someone’s laptop trying to connect to the TV.”
She added: “Just for the record: I’m very happy. I’m also very healthy and eat well and exercise a lot. I don’t smoke and never have. I don’t take any medications. I am not vaccinated. So I’m not concerned about blood clots, heart conditions, strokes, or anything else.”
“Nor do I have anything to hide. I just love my country and the people and know how much they’ve been screwed over by the corrupt people in our government and I’m not willing to be quiet about it, or willing to go along with it,” the Georgia Republican noted further.
She then tweeted a link to a CBS News report noting that the FBI has warned so-called “smart” TVs — those connected to the Internet — could be used to spy on homes.
“At the low end of the risk spectrum, they can change channels, play with the volume, and show your kids inappropriate videos,” the FBI said. “In a worst-case scenario, they can turn on your bedroom TV’s camera and microphone and silently cyberstalk you,” the FBI added.
Senior producer/reporter and former Fox News staffer Breanna Morello tweeted in response: “Yep. This happens often. Whenever we’re working on a FBI story, our devices stop working or start tweaking.”
“Marjorie Taylor Greene’s tweet about her TV turning on by itself certainly seems bizarre, and it’s hard to say for sure what she meant by it. However, it does seem to play into her previous conspiracy theories about the government spying on her,” said Craig Agranoff, whom Newsweek described as a political analyst, not a TV technician or a tech guru.
“It’s also worth noting that Greene has sort of a history of making outlandish claims that have been debunked, so it’s possible that this is just another example of that,” he added.
Greene has been very outspoken of late regarding the various scandals surrounding President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. She also has been critical of the FBI and the Justice Department for failing, in her view, to adequately pursue investigations and, presumably, charges against both based on evidence she has seen.
Earlier this month, Greene went to a secure room at the U.S. Capitol Building to view documents the FBI possesses on the Bidens that have come for a source the bureau has used for years and deems “highly credible.”
Afterward, said that the FBI has two additional FD-1023 forms besides the one that had been widely reported beforehand, and added that she believes her committee will be reading the documents in the coming weeks, Breitbart News reported.
The first form came from an FBI informant file and revealed “the alleged existence of two pieces of evidence showing President Joe Biden received $5 million from Ukrainian energy company Burisma, Committee Republicans told reporters,” Breitbart News noted.
Greene told the outlet: “He requested it, he and Hunter Biden requested $5 million each,” Greene said. “‘Pay me $5 million, pay my father $5 million, and we will take care of your problems for you.’”
