Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday said freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) controversial comments promoting conspiracy theories and condoning violence against Democrats are “cancer” for the Republican Party.
Why it matters: Greene has been a central focus for House Republicans in recent weeks, including for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). McConnell is now the highest-ranking Republican to condemn Greene’s behavior.
……..
What they’re saying: “Somebody who’s suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.’s airplane is not living in reality,” McConnell said in a statement.
– “This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen our party.”
