QAnon supporter, who made racist videos, calls Pelosi a ‘b****’ in angry acceptance speech after winning Georgia GOP primary

A GOP candidate and far-right QAnon conspiracy theorist branded Nancy Pelosi a “b***h” in her victory speech after winning the Republican nomination for Georgia.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a businesswoman who has expressed racist views in videos shared online, beat neurosurgeon, John Cowan, in the 14th congressional district race, securing 57 per cent of the vote.

Addressing her supporters in a victory speech, later posted on social media, Ms Green criticised the Democrat House speaker Ms Pelosi, whom she also labelled “anti-America”.

“I just wanna say to Nancy Pelosi. She’s a hypocrite,” Ms Greene can be heard saying in the video. “She’s anti-American. And we’re going to kick that b***h out of Congress,” she added to loud applause.

Georgia’s 14th congressional district is heavily conservative and has not elected a Democrat since its creation in 2013, meaning Ms Greene has essentially secured guaranteed a seat in Congress.

“So the Republican establishment was against me. The DC swamp has been against me. And the lying fake news media hates my guts,” Ms Green said in her victory speech. “Yep, it’s a badge of honour.”

She has amassed tens of thousands of followers on social media, where she often posts videos of herself speaking directly to the camera. Those videos have helped propel her popularity with her base, while also drawing strong condemnation from some future would-be colleagues in Congress.

In a series of videos unearthed just after Greene placed first in the initial 9 June Republican primary, she complains of an “Islamic invasion” into government offices, claims Black and Hispanic men are held back by “gangs and dealing drugs,” and pushes an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who is Jewish, collaborated with the Nazis.

Lest us forget, how political discord used to be:

During an October 10, 2008, town hall event in Lakeville, Minnesota, a constituent told McCain that she couldn't trust Obama. The woman called Obama "an Arab" at the height of a conspiracy movement claiming Obama, who was born in Hawaii, was not a natural-born American citizen and therefore ineligible for the presidency.

"No ma'am, he's a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign is all about," McCain said to applause.

The President Is Now Lauding QAnon Believers as Future Republican Stars

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/p ... or-greene/

It's hard these days not to feel like the Internet was a mistake.

[...]

Marjorie Taylor Greene triumphed in the Republican primary for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, one of the reddest in the country, meaning she's odds-on to win the general election in November, too. She won 58 percent of the vote in a matchup with Dr. John Cowan, a neurosurgeon. ("She is not conservative—she's crazy," Cowan said of Green. "She deserves a YouTube channel, not a seat in Congress. She’s a circus act." Clearly, she's what Republicans in the 14th district want.) Green runs a construction company with her husband, and also believes that Donald Trump is waging a secret war against a cabal of Satanist pedophiles in the Democratic Party, the media, and beyond. She has also suggested Muslims should not hold public office; called George Soros, who is a Holocaust survivor, a Nazi; and said Black Americans "are held slaves to the Democratic Party." Naturally, she has the support of the President of the United States.

[...]

Greene is the most likely to win in November, but she's one of many QAnon believers who are gunning for seats in the national legislature. In this equation, they will serve side-by-side with at least some people they believe are engaged in the ritualistic sexual abuse of children. This does not sound like a recipe for bipartisan cooperation. But it's far worse than any of that. The QAnon thing, as an article in The Atlantic laid out in June, is far closer to a religion than any run-of-the-mill Internet conspiracy theory at this point. It is completely impervious to evidence, real-world events, and reason.

[...]

If people want to believe something, they will believe it. Sometimes, people want the lie more than anything, particularly if they feel they themselves are co-conspirators with other Facebook sleuths who are "doing their own research" based on these clues. It's a community. It's a religion.

According to the New York Times, the rise of this movement is already playing out in familiar ways within the Republican Party. "Its supporters are slowly becoming a political force that some Republicans feel they cannot afford to alienate," the Times reports, "even as the party struggles to distance itself from racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories." They don't seem to be struggling particularly hard. This is the next iteration of the Tea Party, supercharged with high-octane insanity.

[...]

There's a reason these folks keep accusing people, basically at random, of engaging in pedophilia. They fantasize about the day Hillary Clinton will not just be arrested, but summarily executed. Will there be a trial? Who needs one when you've done your own research? And what happens if the arrest never comes, and Donald Trump fails to win re-election, and these people believe the pedophiles are running free at the summit of world power again? What will they do to find their own version of justice?

Well, if our elected officials truly represent their constituents, it makes sense that a few of them are vile, vulgar idiots.
