Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon supporter, won the Republican primary for a safe GOP seat in Congress representing Georgia’s 14th congressional district. She has a credible Democratic opponent in the November election, but the district has voted ~76% Republican in recent contested elections, and the concerns of horrified Republicans probably won’t keep her out of Congress.
Greene crushed her primary rivals, getting nearly twice as many votes as her next-closest competitor, a respected neurosurgeon. Voters were undeterred by her racist remarks or embrace of theory conspiracies who believe “President Trump is stopping a deep-state ring of child sex traffickers.”
Greene has called the mysterious “Q,” assumed leader of the QAnon movement, a “patriot” and has claimed that “many of the things he has given clues about on 4Chan and other forums have really proven true.”
She called the 2018 midterm elections “a Muslim invasion of our government.” Of 535 House and Senate members, 3 are Muslim, none of them remotely as nutty or dangerous as her.
But Republican primary voters have their limits. They don’t like looters. Two accused shoplifters, Danielle Steele in Minnesota and Tim Eyman in Washington, lost their primaries by wide margins last week.
