Marjorie Taylor Greene is running for Congress – and is unrepentant about her racist rhetoric and support for the QAnon conspiracy theory.

So on brand Trumpian RethugniCON candidate!

Trump acts with impunity because the Rethugs allows it
The Rethugs acts with impunity because MAGAts allow it

MAGAts keeps on electing or nominating people so trumpian because they want to be Trump!

Addendum:

On White Evangelical Christians:

Their stories reveal the deepest impulses of mainstream evangelical Christianity & expose where its believers pledge allegiance. And they reveal that white evangelicals support Trump not in spite of who he is, but because of who he is—and who they are. 9/

Another clown wants to join the “Republican Cirque De So Lame”.

Added:
Four months after Trump took office, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus shut down for good. They could not compete.

“This is the kind of candidate that a lot of Republicans, and really I’m talking about Republican officials who are elected and appointed, sort of cringe when they hear what she says or they look at what she believes in,” he said.

After eating a gigantic turd pie for the better part of thirty years, this makes you cringe? It’s just one more gulp. You can do it. You know you eventually will.

You would think that sooner or later they would run out of rocks to turn over.

And so we see yet another chapter in the continuing story of the devolution of the Republican Party into a party of ignorant, biased, scared, uneducated, and gullible fools.

Even when she doesn’t deny saying it, they still think it’s fake news.

Near as I can tell, it becomes “fake” when you call it racist. She’s just, you know, saying that white people are superior to brown people. But she’s not racist!

So she actually said she would be against taking down statues of Hitler or Satan.

She now faces fellow Republican John Cowan, a neurosurgeon, in a runoff election Tuesday for the open seat.

Dr. Cowan can help Greene if she loses and “feels badly” about it.

If she wins, House leadership should consider preventing her from taking her seat, which the House can do.

She’s just a few millimeters shy of Michelle Bachman crazy eyes.

Why do so many Repub women look like that?

Oy.

He’s a neurosurgeon–not a shrink. Big difference. Very big.

Upvoted for “Cirque De So Lame.”

A college admissions administrator once told me that he was interviewed by a student journalist, and during the interview he was asked to name his favorite play. He was surprised, to say the least, when he read the interview and saw that his favorite play was “Lame Is Rob.”

She accurately reflects the views of Georgia republicans. She will win this runoff.
In normal times, she would go on to win in November. I’m not so sure this time around. Even in Georgia.
The Democrats there are motivated.

The thing is if she wins then the rest of the state and all the Republicans in power will be tied to her words and actions. And the thing to look out for is who she will hire to run and staff her Congressional offices. Who will sign up for an internship with her?
