Politico: “Marjorie Taylor Greene vowed to be the left’s ‘worst nightmare’ after she won the GOP nomination for a conservative district in Georgia on Tuesday night. But House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy is the one who is most likely to be haunted by Greene.”
“The rise of Greene — an unapologetic QAnon conspiracy theorist who has made disparaging remarks about Jews, Blacks, and Muslims — is threatening to hurt the entire party as Republicans seek to stanch their bleeding in suburbia and expand their base of support amid a national reckoning over racial inequality. Greene won a GOP primary runoff in a deep red northwest Georgia seat, all but guaranteeing her a spot in Congress next year. Now Republicans up and down the ballot will have to answer for Greene’s controversial remarks. And she’s showing no signs of softening her rhetoric. During her primary victory party, Greene ripped into ‘spineless Republicans,’ called Speaker Nancy Pelosi ‘a bitch,’ and kicked reporters out of the event. Greene then celebrated their ouster on Twitter. By Wednesday, Greene was already in a Twitter war with a sitting House Republican who said there is ‘no place in Congress for these conspiracies.’ A Trump campaign spokesman then jumped to Greene’s defense.”
