Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) seemed to blame "climate change" for historic flooding in Georgia and North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

During a Tuesday town hall event in Murray, Georgia, Greene complained that her Democratic colleagues wanted to allow additional immigrants to enter the United States.

"As a matter of fact, if you all could sit and listen to every detail of our committee hearings," Greene said. "You would hear them saying that it's racist not to let these people in."

"You would hear them saying that they're coming because of climate change," she continued.

Greene then suggested that Democrats should focus on climate change challenges in the U.S. instead.

"Really?" she said. "Try talking to the people in western North Carolina. Try talking to the people in South and Central and Eastern Georgia."

"They were affected by the climate," the lawmaker added.

Later in the event, Greene conducted a poll asking the audience who was "really running the White House."

"If you think it's Obama, raise your hand," she said.
