I do not believe that was Ruth. No. I don’t think so.

— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a known conspiracy theorist, in response to a caller during a February 26, 2019, appearance on the pro-Trump website UniteAmericaFirst.com. According to a report from Media Matters, during her appearance, a caller asked Greene if she’d seen “the picture” of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at “the airport” (i.e., National Airport) “walking straight up right like it’s a whole new person” and asked her if she believed “that is Ruth.” Before Greene could respond, host Will Johnson jumped in, saying, “It’s almost like a body double like Hillary Clinton.” Greene took office on January 3, 2021.
