Guess What Subject Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She Has A Ph.D. In

The Georgia Republican is claiming a degree in a somewhat unusual subject.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene  has a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration. And now, shes claiming she has a doctorate in a slightly more unusual subject.

During Thursdays meeting of the House oversight committees COVID-19 subcommittee, Greene questioned Food and Drug Administration official Dr. Peter Marks about the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines once they became widely available in 2021.

Its estimated in the United States about 3.2 million lives [were saved] and its estimated, globally, that COVID-19 vaccines saved over 14 million lives, conservatively, Marks said.

Greene wasnt buying it.

I may not be a doctor but I have a PHD in recognizing bullshit when I hear it, Greene told the panel.

She then spent the rest of her time citing misinformation  about the dangers of COVID-19 vaccines.

Greene has pushed other conspiracy theories , such as the idea that a prominent Jewish banking family used space lasers to set wildfires in California . So many folks on X, formerly known as Twitter, were skeptical.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), who followed Greene, opened up his questioning with an apology to Marks:

Im sorry you all had to go through that. That was a lot of conspiracy theories and wild accusations that have been debunked by medical science.

Garcia then followed up by displaying posts from Greene about COVID-19 and had Marks address their accuracy. 

Spoiler alert: Not accurate at all.
