“Republican-backed congressional candidate and right-wing commentator Marjorie Taylor Greene is both a QAnon supporter and a 9/11 conspiracy theorist” Media Matters reports.
“In previously unreported remarks, Greene discussed the September 11 attacks and said that there was ‘the so-called plane that crashed into the Pentagon. It’s odd there’s never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon.’ She also falsely said that former President Barack Obama ‘is a Muslim’ and accused him of having ‘opened up our borders to an invasion by Muslims.’ Both of those claims, along with the QAnon conspiracy theory, have been frequently promoted over the years by right-wing media figures and through social media, message boards, and elsewhere. Greene is a small business owner and right-wing commentator. She won her Republican primary runoff this week in a heavily Republican congressional district in Georgia, meaning that she is likely to become the first open and avowed supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory in Congress. President Donald Trump has enthusiastically endorsed her, while House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s office said that Republicans ‘look forward’ to her victory in November.”
