In November, the previously unknown Marjorie Taylor Greene was elected to Georgia s open 14th Congressional District seat in a landslide. Now, after being in office less than a month, she is the object of a hate campaign by the Democrats, who are demanding that she be stripped of all committee assignments, and preferably kicked out of the House.

The rebukes over alleged anti-Semitism could well trigger a chain reaction in the Republican Party. The party prides itself on its unwavering support for Israel, a unifying issue for the GOP as it prepares to defend former President Donald Trump’s historic pro-Jerusalem initiatives.
