Trump Talks About Marjorie Taylor Greene Dying In Exploding Car At Rally

Former President Donald Trump railed against hydrogen fuel cell vehicles once again on Monday by conjuring up a graphic and gruesome scenario involving one of his biggest acolytes, far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
The Republican presidential nominee repeated to a campaign rally audience in Atlanta the questionable claim — that he has voiced on multiple occasions now — that hydrogen cars can explode and therefore render its driver completely unrecognizable.
Per Car And Driver magazine, though, the cars “are widely considered as safe as any other car” and “no injuries or deaths specific to the hydrogen components have been recorded in the relatively small number of HFCVs sold to date.”
Trump has previously fearmongered over the wives of hydrogen fuel cell car drivers not being able to recognize their husbands “lying against a tree and the tree has a lot of red on it” and “strong guys” with “very wealthy parents” being utterly obliterated in a crash involving them.
This time, it fell to Greene — who was in the audience — to be the subject of the imagined, horrific story.
“We want gasoline-powered cars and we want hybrids. We don’t want hydrogen. We do not want hydrogen cars,” said Trump, calling them “extremely dangerous.” “You’re not recognizable if something goes wrong,” Trump continued, before talking about Greene:
If something goes wrong and Marjorie Taylor Greene with that beautiful blond hair is driving down the highway in a hydrogen car and the problem with the hydrogen car, if something goes wrong, it’s like the atom bomb went off. You’re not recognizable. But they say, ‘We think we have it under control.’ That’s not good enough. They’ll say, ‘We thought it was Marjorie Taylor Greene riding down the middle of the turnpike but she’s no longer recognizable. We found some of her.’
Trump asked Greene to stand up for supporters and said, “I will not let her get into a hydrogen car, she wouldn’t do it anyway.”
