Republicans built up QAnon backer Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, but now are they afraid of what they created? Marquise Francis
On the eve of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the combative Georgia Republican known for her association with the fantastical, cultlike QAnon conspiracy theory, was back on Twitter after a 12-hour suspension, and back to making waves and rocking the precarious boat that Republicans find themselves in, having lost the White House and both chambers of Congress.
“I’ve said this all along, it’s people over politicians, not the other way around,” Greene tweeted late Monday night, just hours after her Twitter account was reinstated after it was suspended for violating the social media giant’s policies. “It’s the people of this country that matter. That’s why I’m asking everyone to join me as a Citizen Cosponsor to #ImpeachBiden.”

This unprincipled craven coward issued a statement on Saturday declaring his support for the “GOP Clown Car Coup” that would overturn a fair and free election and keep him and Donald Trump in the White House, despite losing in a landslide in the popular vote and electoral college vote. Thankfully, Democrats control the House and it is a futile effort. Pence Welcomes Futile Bid by G.O.P. Lawmakers to Overturn Election:
Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., thinks upwards of 100 GOP lawmakers will vote to not accept Joe Biden s victory when Congress convenes on Jan. 6 to count the Electoral College votes. I hope I m wrong. I m guessing it will be upwards of 100, Kinzinger told Charlie Sykes.
