Description

The internet laughed at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green's unfounded conspiracy theory that laser beams from space controlled by the Rothschild banking firm caused California's wildfires.

Anti-semitic, racist disinformation can spread via memes and other online content. But science communicator and prolific TikToker Abbie Richards is fighting back.
