Far-right US congresswoman tweets TV turned on with an image of a laptop trying to connect and a link to an article on spying

The far-right US congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene appeared to say she thinks she is being spied on through her television, possibly by the US government, and that someone may soon try to kill her.

In a tweet on Sunday, the Republican from Georgia said: “Last night in my DC residence, the television turned on by itself and the screen showed someone’s laptop trying to connect to the TV.”

Greene also linked to a CBS News story entitled “Your smart TV might be spying on you, FBI warns”, a piece that linked to a 2019 warning about hacking and cybercriminals reported by TechCrunch.

Greene followed her tweet about her television with an altered image, Barack Obama’s portrait changed to show the 44th president looking through binoculars from behind lush green foliage.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner whom Greene supports, has claimed without evidence that Obama authorised spying on him when Trump won the presidency in 2016.

Greene, 49, is a rabble rouser and conspiracy theorist who has risen to power in a House Republican caucus at the mercy of the far right.

Currently pushing for Joe Biden to be impeached before he runs for the presidency again in 2024, Greene has also earned headlines by falling out with Lauren Boebert of Colorado, another far-right gadfly.

In her Sunday tweet, Greene also seemed to suggest someone might try to harm her, writing: “Just for the record: I’m very happy.

“I’m also very healthy and eat well and exercise a lot. I don’t smoke and never have. I don’t take any medications. I am not vaccinated. So I’m not concerned about blood clots, heart conditions, strokes, or anything else.

“Nor do I have anything to hide. I just love my country and the people and know how much they’ve been screwed over by the corrupt people in our government and I’m not willing to be quiet about it, or willing to go along with it.”

Matt Binder, a reporter for Mashable, offered a less sinister explanation for what happened to Greene’s TV.

A neighbour, he suggested, “accidentally tried to screen cast to the wrong TV”.

But, Binder added, Greene’s “first thought is that this means someone is trying to assassinate her”.

I can't take this seriously because there are untruths in it, so it kinda puts the whole thing in question.

What are the untruths?

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner whom Greene supports, has claimed without evidence that Obama authorised spying on him when Trump won the presidency in 2016.

 

[Polds4OSU]

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner whom Greene supports, has claimed without evidence that Obama authorised spying on him when Trump won the presidency in 2016.

CLAIM
Trump once again accused the Obama administration, including Biden and then-President Barack Obama, of “spying” on his campaign. “There was no transition because they came after me, tried to do a coup, came after me spying on my campaign,” Trump said.
CONCLUSION
There is no evidence Biden or Obama had any personal role in the FBI surveillance of Trump campaign advisers, which came as part of the FBI’s Russia investigation.
EVIDENCE
Trump has been accusing the Obama administration of “spying” as shorthand for a broader conspiracy theory about the 2016 election. There are snippets of truth, like the fact that some Trump aides were investigated and surveilled by the FBI under Obama.
But during the 2016 campaign, Trump aides had extensive contacts with Russian officials and operatives, while Russia meddled in the US election. That raised alarms within the US intelligence community, prompting the FBI to open an investigation, which included routine surveillance methods.
Along the way, the FBI made some serious mistakes, but there's no evidence Obama or Biden was personally involved in anything.
You can read a longer fact check here.

And where is the proof that Obama authorized spying on Trump?

Trump's own Head of FBI Chris Wray disputed Trump's claim
Did Obama and Biden spy on the Trump campaign?
CLAIM
Trump said, "Well, look, the Obama campaign spied on our campaign, and they've been caught, all right?" He added, "It's probably treason. It's a horrible thing they did. ... They used the intelligence agencies of our country to spy on my campaign, and they have been caught."
CONCLUSION
This is comprehensively wrong. There is no evidence that Obama or Biden personally directed the FBI to surveil people in the Trump campaign
EVIDENCE
Term-limited President Barack Obama did not run a "campaign" in 2016, when the FBI investigated the Trump campaign's relationship with Russia; nothing related to the Russia investigation comes remotely close to meeting the Constitution's definition of treason.
Also, FBI Director Christopher Wray, who was appointed by Trump, has said he would not use the word "spying" to describe what he called "surveillance activity." But that is more subjective.

Any time Trump speaks I am at the default that he is lying unless proven otherwise. How anyone believes anything he says is beyond me.

I don't trust politicians to begin with but Trump takes lying to whole different, most likely pathological, level.

Wray is a proven liar on this very subject.

What I'm gathering here is that the might of the US government can be turned on a private citizen for political reasons. But hey, its ok because my team did it.

[Duke Silver]

It was in the article. It is not without evidence. His administration absolutely did. He had to know. What they claim is the false part is the word spying. They call it surveillance. So authorized surveillance. Now its accurate apparently.

 

[Duke Silver]

Back to the original nutter at hand. For anyone that would know, other than knowing what you watch, how could they spy on you through your smart tv? If it has a microphone in the remote, I can see how they can listen.

Please show this indictable evidence. I don’t remember a single indictment of anyone affiliated with Obama’s entire EIGHT year term. Can’t count the number of indictments and pardons in the FOUR years we endured with tRUMP.

 

[CowboyJD]

Word of advice.....let's try not to have semantics arguments about what Trump says or tweets and the truthfulness thereof.

We're dealing with people that are on record saying they take what Trump says seriously....but not literally. They seem to know/understand what he "meant" even when it's very different from what he actually "said".

There's really nothing to be gained by trying to parsing the on-line musings of someone like that dude.

Just my .02.
