House Republicans were relieved when Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) was finally ousted in a primary. But this fall, they could get an even more controversial lawmaker in their ranks. Marjorie Taylor Greene — a known QAnon conspiracy theorist who is the GOP frontrunner for a deep red House seat in Georgia — has recorded hours of Facebook videos expressing racist, Islamophobia and anti-Semitic views, scooped Ally Mutnick and your Huddle host.
A small sample of her remarks: Greene suggested Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to serve in office and called the 2018 midterms – which elected the first two Muslim women to Congress – an “Islamic invasion of our government”; she said that if she were black, she'd feel “proud” to see a Confederate statue "because I’d say, ‘Look how far I have come in this country’”; she called Jewish Democratic mega donor George Soros a "piece of crap that turned in his own people over to the Nazis”; she said black people “are held slaves to the Democratic Party”; and she called white men “the most mistreated group of people in the United States today.”
