GOP GA Election Official: Greene Is An ‘Anchor’ On GOP Who Is ‘Weighing Us Down’ | Talking Points Memo

Gabriel Sterling, the Republican election administrator in Georgia who rose to prominence for debunking former President Trump’s bogus election fraud falsehoods, is warning that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) influence on the Republican Party shouldn’t be taken lightly in light of the QAnon sympathizer’s inflammatory remarks that have recently resurfaced.

Just a note: Over the last several weeks y’all may have seen Sterling on TV. He works for Raffensperger. Both are still getting death threats.

What is it with these GA R’s? They don’t know when to fold.

I admire his courage, considering he’s dallying with truly crazy gun-psychos. I’m assuming he has already purchased body armor.

They want her to be the definition of what a Republican is,

Bummer for ya, GOP. You nominated her, elected her, and refuse to take any significant action against her. Looks to me like "They The GOP want her to be the definition of what a Republican is.”

Two statements by Sterling in the article are false.

The first untrue statement.
“If you have any common sense, you know she’s an anchor on the party,” Sterling told Politico. “She is weighing us down.”

Well this is true in one sense, it is also true that but for the Greene’s and other deplorables of America the GOP, if it existed at all would be much smaller and less powerful.

Which brings us to the second false statement:
“The Democrats would never throw her out. They want her to be the definition of what a Republican is,” Sterling told Politico.

By throwing Greene out of Congress it forces Republicans to either defend or abandon Greene. Both have electoral implications that are not good for the Republicans. But, if they abandon Greene, they abandon somewhere between 30% to 70% of the GOP base which in the best scenario will make the GOP a true minority and in the worst case end its existence.

She is the antithesis of everything the GA GOP is. They like bland, white bread (and white male) candidates. Even Gingrich back in the day caused ruffled feathers for garnering too much press attention.

She is a Rep from one relatively low population district. An aberration, really. This interview is pointing that out. She WILL be primaried in 2022.

I think you are overstating her influence. Which is easy to do, given every media organization is giving her the lion’s share of coverage. But she is a freshman, back bencher Rep from, quite literally, the backwood hills of North Georgia. Its population is smaller than my CD, and my CD is almost entirely rural small counties.

Oh, probably some toady nominated him. But without twitter, he’s almost a present non-presence, like some spectre or apparition you can only see occasionally from the corner of your eye.
