'Two French fries short of a Happy Meal': MTG ridiculed on The View for latest theory

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) proclaimed last week that an earthquake in the northeastern United States Friday, followed by today's solar eclipse, was a "sign from God."

It sent "The View" co-hosts into peals of laughter and mockery.

The panelists were quick with jokes recalling Donald Trump embracing the 2017 eclipse by staring directly at the sun without protective glasses while his staff yelled for him not to look directly because it could permanently damage eyes.

"Maybe that's what's wrong with him," quipped Sunny Hostin.

"Maybe that explains things," agreed Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as Trump's communications director.

"With the earthquake on Friday and the eclipse today, people are having all sorts of conspiracies about the end of the world. And then I read online that the epicenter was actually at Bedminster, New Jersey. Fun fact. So it originated with Trump."

Another thing Hostin said is that there's a new cycle of cicadas coming this summer. Each generation of cicadas surfaces either every 13 years or every 17 years.

There are those who believe that the Rapture is coming due to the confluence of events.

Trump even used the eclipse to promote himself, showing his profile plunging the Earth into darkness in an ad.

Whoopi Goldberg explained that all of these events happen all the time and it isn't an indication of anything ending the world. While the solar eclipse is making its way across the U.S. in 2024, it happens annually in various parts of the world. For example, there was a total solar eclipse in Antarctica on Dec. 4, 2021. That same day, the Semeru volcano erupted. All the while, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to plague the world. The Oxford High School shooter's parents were also arrested that day.

Still, the confluence of events prompted Greene to tell the world that they must repent because all of the events happening at the same time meant God was displeased with the world.

"I hope she listens," shaded Hostin after reading MTG's tweet. "She needs to listen, anyway."

"She better listen," agreed Joy Behar. "That woman is two french fries short of a Happy Meal."

The frequently used euphemism for stupidity or mental unfitness is similar to saying "a can short of a six-pack," "a quart low," "the elevator doesn't go all the way to the top," "the meatballs are sliding off the spaghetti," and "a few fruitloops short a bowl."
