Maitlis also questioned the relationship between conspiracy theorists and supporters of former President Donald Trump and Greene's messages to Nikki Haley.

Satellites hinder our ability to communicate effectively with God. Prayers often conflict with satellites. It can be deflected or destroyed by impact.”
