Once upon a time, in the wonderful world of politics, a wild rumor spread like wildfire claiming that Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz were twirling around, gleefully chanting about supporting a government shutdown because of some troublesome illegal immigration stuff. But hold the phone, folks – it’s all as phony as a three-dollar bill!
Desk of @NahBabyNah FACT CHECK: No, Marjorie Taylor Greene Did Not Make A Post Saying She And Matt Gaetz Support Government Shutdown https://t.co/uU8B1KdrUW . #Trump2024

You see, there was this sneaky little post floating around on Facebook, pretending to be from Greene herself. It said something like, “Hey, let’s close shop until we sort out that pesky border issue. What do you think?” alongside a picture of the dynamic duo, Greene and Gaetz, looking like they just stepped out of a patriotic comic book. Classic gag, right?
But alas, it wasn’t real! Nope, it was all the handiwork of some joker running a parody account under the name “Marjorie Taylor Greene Press Release (Parody).” And let’s face it, if there’s one thing conservatives don’t need right now, it’s more fake news clogging up the works!
Now, in the delightful land of fact-checking, where rumors go to meet their doom, it was revealed that this whole hullabaloo was about as true as a unicorn sighting. No genuine post like that could be tracked down on Greene’s official account, the one with the elusive gray checkmark that says, “Hey, I’m the real deal, y’all.”
Sure, there was some legal mumbo-jumbo about a Supreme Court Justice pausing a tough immigration law in Texas, but that’s a whole other can of worms. As for Greene and Gaetz urging for a government shutdown? Nada. Zilch. Zero credible sources to back up that claim.
Dear readers, let’s remember to keep a keen eye out for the tricks and traps of social media, where even the most outlandish stories can take on a life of their own. And here’s a little nugget of wisdom: when it comes to political gossip, always separate the wheat from the chaff, the truth from the tomfoolery. Stay sharp out there, fellow conservatives!
