Watch: Marjorie Taylor Greene Pushes Bill Gates Monkeypox Conspiracy
Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has promoted a conspiracy theory that claims billionaire Bill Gates is hoping to "make a lot of money" from an outbreak of monkeypox. During her Facebook Live show MTG:Live, Greene baselessly connected the current monkeypox outbreak—which has consisted of fewer than 100 cases globally including at least one confirmed case in Massachusetts and one suspected case in New York—and Gates, the Microsoft founder who has often featured as a central character in right-wing conspiracy theories.
