• Georgia congressional candidate Kandiss Taylor is facing bipartisan backlash after claiming the deadly Texas floods were “fake” and caused by geoengineering, spreading conspiracy theories during an ongoing disaster. Her remarks have raised concerns about the impact of misinformation in politics and her fitness for office.

ATLANTA, GA (TDR) — A Republican congressional candidate from Georgia, Kandiss Taylor, is under fire after spreading debunked conspiracy theories about the deadly Texas flash floods, which have claimed at least 30 lives, including nine children. Taylor’s comments, labeling the floods as “fake,” have drawn bipartisan condemnation as critics question her judgment and fitness for office.

Taylor’s “Fake Weather” Claims Spark Outrage

Taylor, a self-proclaimed MAGA Republican who previously ran for Georgia governor, posted controversial remarks on X (formerly Twitter) amid ongoing search and rescue efforts in Texas. “Fake weather. Fake hurricanes. Fake flooding. Fake. Fake. Fake,” Taylor wrote, later doubling down with another statement: “FAKE WEATHER. REAL DAMAGE.”

She further alleged that the natural disaster was the result of “cloud seeding, geoengineering, & manipulation,” claiming, “If fake weather causes real tragedy, that’s murder.” Her comments have been widely criticized for spreading misinformation at a sensitive time when families are grieving and search teams are working tirelessly to locate missing individuals, including 25 campers from a summer camp swept away by floodwaters.

Bipartisan Criticism of Taylor’s Remarks

Taylor’s remarks drew sharp rebukes from leaders across the political spectrum. Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) questioned Texas voters, asking, “Hey Texas. What do you think of this? She’s running for congress as a Republican? Any thoughts?” Retired intelligence officer Travis Akers said, “Over two dozen dead and more children missing, and this candidate for Congress says the flooding in Texas is fake.”

Attorney Tracey Gallagher also criticized Taylor, writing, “Do your job Georgia… Is this the best you have got?”

Georgia Democrats and several advocacy groups have also weighed in, calling for accountability and urging voters to reject what they described as a dangerous trend of conspiracy-driven politics. A media watchdog noted that Taylor’s comments undermine public trust and could distract from critical disaster relief efforts.

Rising Concerns Over Misinformation in Politics

Taylor’s remarks come as misinformation continues to polarize the political landscape, often stoking distrust in government and emergency services. Policy analysts warn that unsubstantiated claims, such as those circulated by Taylor, may discourage individuals from taking safety precautions or supporting relief efforts, thereby exacerbating the tragedy.

Meanwhile, Texas officials have praised the work of rescue teams, who have saved at least 850 people in the last 36 hours. Governor Greg Abbott reported that some victims were found “clinging to trees to save their lives.” Even President Trump issued a statement calling the floods “shocking” and offering prayers to affected families.

Political Ramifications for Taylor

Taylor’s controversial statements could have significant implications for her congressional campaign. Her X bio proclaims her allegiance to “Jesus, Guns & Babies,” but critics argue her inflammatory rhetoric raises questions about her ability to serve in Congress. Watchdog groups and political analysts suggest her comments may alienate moderate voters and energize opposition campaigns.

As misinformation and conspiracy theories increasingly infiltrate public discourse, Taylor’s remarks raise critical questions about the role of accountability and truth in modern politics.
