Marjorie Taylor Greene had just finished questioning whether a plane really flew into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, and flatly stating that President Barack Obama was secretly Muslim when she paused to offer an aside implicating another former president in a crime.
Their reticence to take action is yet another example of how Republican leaders have allowed those forces to fester and strengthen. Some leaders have privately said they are eager to move past the fringe movements and the charged messaging used by President Donald Trump that fuelled the assault on the Capitol on 6 January.
Ms Greene is perhaps best known for having endorsed QAnon, the pro-Trump conspiracy movement that claims that Mr Trump was facing down a shadowy cabal of Democratic pedophiles. “She repeatedly used offensive language in long online video diatribes, promoted bizarre political conspiracy theories, and refused to admit a mistake after posing for photos with a longtime white supremacist leader,” the group said. “It is unfortunate that she prevailed in her election despite this terrible record.
When Ms Greene decided to run for Congress, she initially started her campaign in a Georgia district held by Representative Lucy McBath, a Democrat. But after Representative Tom Graves, a Republican, announced he would retire, Ms Greene moved her campaign to his more conservative district. She eventually placed first in a crowded primary race and advanced to a runoff election against Dr John Cowan, a mild-mannered neurosurgeon.
Their is always the narrative by the state and the truth ?
My God, why is the US so full of these crazy people? It seems the country is full of weird sects, fringe groups, conspiracy theorists, climate change deniers, card carrying extremists, Armageddon survivalists, etc. Seat of democracy - global leaders? Not really!
At least she's better than them. When are you Communist going to condem this violence.
Can we stop giving her a platform, and the microphone
JFK Jr/ school shooting massacres are 'domestic stuff' (state level, local level) September 11/ Barack Obama are 'international stuff' so forget about them
The lunatics are running the asylum. Madness.
America's Craig Kelly.
You could lock her up too.....
A total fuckwit of the highest level. God help America
Dorothy23897725 How do these people get elected?
Jewish laser beams though?
I’m sure her weekend attire is a U.S. flag bikini accessorised with an AK47.
This is why you never go to Georgia. You just end with a nasty tick on your back.
Conspiracy theories? Like 3 years of telling the world Trump was the Kremlins Manchurian Candidate?
Do Americans ever care about how crazy people like this make them look to the rest of the world? Not some anonymous deluded fool - a representative of the people.
Repubs are setting her up to be the first female president. ...just a guess based on their recent behaviour..
She fits in so well to the Republican Party and 74 million Americans, so why would they get rid of her?
Something very unwell about this woman.
Bunching up conspiracy theories into a bag to dismiss is the best way to never face real conspiracies. What are they? Are they all false or just some? Are all conspiracies theories? 911 was never investigated. Why? Why were Israeli nationals detained then sent back to Israel?
Why are so many Republican Americans so easily seduced by completely ridiculous conspiracy theories. These numpties not in the least interested in the concept of evidence
White European Americans are full of it!
She’s simply ridiculous
Such a low bar to succeed in politics in that country.
When is the radical left wing SBS News going to apologise for the 3 years of fake news reporting about the Russian conspiracy theories that they propagated.
She'd be considered president material by the Republicans. Whitehouse can't cover up a blow job but they can cover up the 9/11 inside job.
Stop giving Q hate spokesperson oxygen
She's like a black swan stuffed inside a turkey
