Greene Credits ‘Hand of God’ for Defeating Evil After Pope Francis’s Death
Hold onto your mugs, because my brain is buzzing—Marjorie Taylor Greene just dropped a doozy on us! In the immediate wake of Pope Francis’s reported passing on April 27, 2024, Greene took to social media to proclaim that the “Hand of God” had crushed the forces of evil. Yes, you read that correctly. Citing divine intervention, she hailed this moment as a celestial mic drop—an epic showdown won by heaven itself.
Greene’s exact words, posted on X (formerly Twitter), were: “Evil trembles when the Hand of God stands ready. Today, justice reigns.” According to Fox News’s April 28 report, she doubled down during a livestream, calling the pontiff’s death “a pivotal turning point where good triumphs over wickedness.” Meanwhile, People Magazine confirmed that Greene tagged Bible verses—Revelation 12:11 and Ecclesiastes 3:17—to underscore her point, sparking a flurry of reactions online.
Let me get this straight: a high‑flying congresswoman is blending apocalyptic scripture with geopolitical theatrics? Bold move. She even pointed to current global tensions—citing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East—as proof that this divine “victory” couldn’t come soon enough. People Magazine noted that observers were left scratching their heads, with some critics branding her statements “out of touch” and “sensationalist,” while supporters praised her fervor.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Greene has leveraged religious imagery for political theater. Remember her 2022 tirade about “prayer warriors” saving America? Yep, same energy. But linking it directly to the pontiff’s death has turned up the volume on both praise and outrage. CNN’s fact‑checkers flagged no endorsement from the Vatican, and insiders tell us that papal spokespersons are scrambling to manage the fallout.
Reaction on Capitol Hill? Chaotic. A handful of Greene allies retweeted her and threw in emojis of crosses and doves, while moderate lawmakers issued statements urging respect for Pope Francis’s legacy over partisan spectacle. One senior aide, speaking anonymously to Fox News, admitted, “This is pure performance art masquerading as faith.”
Whether you see her as a prophetic messenger or a political provocateur, there’s no denying this stirred a hornet’s nest. The “Hand of God” soundbite has become the latest rallying cry for Greene’s base—and a headache for her detractors. What’s next? Will she host a prayer vigil on the Capitol steps, or pen a follow‑up manifesto? Stay tuned, because Auntie’s jittery heart can’t wait to see the encore.
Whew! This caffeinated rant could go on forever, but I swear, I need a refill!
