Oddly, this sort of thing is the reason that I tend to think that MTG is not as stupid as she appears to be (and the reason I responded to an earlier thread on the subject to ask people what they thought her ratio of malicious to stupid was).

It actually all started with the Jewish space lasers thing, but this one reminded me of it.

She's clearly stupid (and angry - a common combination among her supporters too). But I just can't convince myself that she's so incredibly stupid that she actually believes this. I mean - there's stupid, but then there's so frighteningly stupid that she shouldn't have even been able to survive to adulthood, and this is much more toward the latter.

I guess anything's possible, but...

I think most of it is pure theater. She says stuff that makes her look batshit crazy, the media writes about, she gets attention. It's a win for her no matter how the public views it.

Saying stupid things =/= being stupid.

There's a reward for her behavior

Don’t waste your brain cells thinking about her.
