Original Note:
In 2018 Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote a Facebook post speculating that the 2018 Camp Fire was caused by space solar generators "collect[ing] the suns [sic] energy and beam[ing] it back to earth[.]" She also invoked the Rothschild family, which is an anti-Semitic trope. https://www.mediamatters.org/facebook/marjorie-taylor-greene-penned-conspiracy-theory-laser-beam-space-started-deadly-2018 https://www.britannica.com/story/where-do-anti-semitic-conspiracy-theories-about-the-rothschild-family-come-from
