President Trump on Wednesday offered his full-throated support for a Georgia congressional candidate who has made incendiary comments about Black people and Muslims and believes in the QAnon conspiracy theory.
“Congratulations to future Republican Star Marjorie Taylor Greene on a big songressional primary win in Georgia against a very tough and smart opponent,” Trump tweeted. “Marjorie is strong on everything and never gives up — a real WINNER!”
Greene won the GOP primary in Georgia’s 14th District to replace outgoing Rep. Tom Graves (R). She defeated neurosurgeon John Cowan in a runoff after neither candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote in the June 9 primary. Greene won with 60 percent of the vote on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press.
Greene is likely to win her general election in the heavily Republican district.

Just what is needed — another conspiracy kook.
These clowns are cynically trying to mobilize a bunch of conspiracy kooks. A lot of those people are pretty unstable, and these guys are playing with dynamite. But I guess that's how you try to beat the law and recover your reputation these days. https://t.co/B5vCY5oeru
