Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon Supporter, Wins House Primary in Georgia

In Georgia, Ms. Greene defeated John Cowan, a neurosurgeon who is no less conservative or pro-Trump, according to The Associated Press, holding a lead of roughly 15 percentage points early Wednesday. The result is likely to unsettle mainstream Republicans, who have sought to publicly distance themselves from QAnon supporters running for congressional office this cycle even as they quietly support some of them.

Now, with Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, one of the most Republican in the country, likely to vote red in November, Ms. Greene is all but assured of getting the chance to put into action her talk of rooting out an imagined deep-state cabal of pedophile Satanists who are trying to take down President Trump.

She's also made derogatory comments about Muslims, because of course she has:
House Republican leaders condemn GOP candidate who made racist videos

In recordings obtained by POLITICO, Greene described Islamic nations under Sharia law as places where men have sex with "little boys, little girls, multiple women" and "marry their sisters" and "their cousins." She suggested the 2018 midterms — which ushered in the most diverse class of House freshmen — was part of “an Islamic invasion of our government” and that “anyone that is a Muslim that believes in Sharia law does not belong in our government.”

Looks like the inmates are taking over the asylum.

[Skewpoint]

Deplorable.

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

So why did people vote for her?

 

[essentialsaltes]

“Congratulations to future Republican Star Marjorie Taylor Greene on a big Congressional primary win in Georgia against a very tough and smart opponent,” Trump tweeted. “Marjorie is strong on everything and never gives up – a real WINNER!”

Great minds think alike?

Sad indeed that people fall for foolish conspiracy theories.

It's a typical stage of democracy.

 

[ThatRobGuy]

It's always a tad embarrassing to have anyone holding an elected office who subscribed to conspiracy theories.

I felt the same way about the "birthers"
I felt the same way about the "9/11 Truthers"

In northwest GA, she is “affectionately” known as “That Crazy Woman”

So why did people vote for her?

Two words: North Georgia

Northeast Georgia has great trout fishing, at least.

I suppose it’s better to have the nutcases out in the open

Northeast Georgia has great trout fishing, at least.

Northwest has militia gun nuts and Q-Anon true believers. And I-75, one of the traditional drug and immigrant smuggling corridors in America.

That reminds me, when is the new season of TWD starting?

More interesting than QAnon itself, or its supporters, is the hysterical reaction that it stirs up among the political establishment...

In recordings obtained by POLITICO, Greene described Islamic nations under Sharia law as places where men have sex with "little boys, little girls, multiple women" and "marry their sisters" and "their cousins."

She's more right than she is wrong here...

It's not hysterical to decry the acceptance of blatant nonsense from public officials.

She's more right than she is wrong here...

That's a deplorable attitude, and wrong besides.

We should be alarmed by how easily people are duped.

Because they are reliant on an alleged anonymous within the US government, QAnon's claims are unverifiable. But how are they nonsense, and considering that the establishment press has increasingly used anonymous sources since the beginning of the current administration, what are you actually saying about them?

The press using anonymous sources is in no way comparable to the tinfoil hat crazy that is QAnon.
