Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) stirred controversy by suggesting on the social media platform X that former President John F. Kennedy's assassination was linked to his opposition to Israel's nuclear ambitions. This provocative statement came amid her critiques of recent U.S. military actions under President Donald Trump.

"There was once a great President that the American people loved. He opposed Israel’s nuclear program. And then he was assassinated," Greene posted, connecting JFK's historical stance on nuclear non-proliferation to his untimely death. This comment was part of a larger argument against Trump's decision to strike Iran, which she debated online with conservative commentator Mark Levin.

Historically, JFK indeed expressed concerns over Israel's nuclear potential in the early 1960s, urging inspections to prevent nuclear proliferation, as highlighted by declassified documents from the National Security Archive. Despite these concerns, official investigations by the FBI and the Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in Kennedy's assassination, without any implication of international conspiracies.

Greene’s remarks drew immediate backlash, reflecting her history of engaging with controversial and conspiratorial theories. In 2018, she faced criticism from Jewish groups for promoting a baseless theory that California wildfires were sparked by space-based lasers, purportedly funded by the Rothschild investment group.

In her defense against Levin's harsh critique, Greene invoked religious teachings, stating, "I will do my best to pray for you. But I will be watchful now," before questioning whether her own opposition to certain international policies might endanger her life, similarly to JFK.

This latest episode underscores Greene's contentious position within political discourse, often marked by her endorsement of fringe theories and her confrontational style. Her office has yet to respond to requests for further comments on her recent statements linking JFK's assassination to his nuclear policy stance.
