A Conspiracy Of Dunces, Con't

The Republican party is the white supremacist, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic bigot party of Donald Trump. As of Tuesday night, it's officially the party of tinfoil hat lunatic and equally white supremacist, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic bigot Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.

Many top Georgia Republicans have watched with dread – but took little action – as Marjorie Taylor Greene rose from longshot candidate to the cusp of Congress. Shortly after her victory in Tuesday’s nationally-watched runoff, Greene showed why she made them so anxious.

In a hotel ballroom crowded with about 100 supporters, Greene promised to be the “worst nightmare” to the liberal left and news media that “hates my guts.” Then she turned her focus on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a way that went beyond the usual red-meat rhetoric.

“She’s a hypocrite. She’s anti-American. And we’re going to kick that bitch out of Congress.”

Greene’s runoff win over John Cowan, a Rome neurosurgeon, virtually assures that she’ll represent the deeply-conservative northwest Georgia district in the U.S. House. And it means Democrats have a new favorite target: A believer in the convoluted QAnon theory who has expressed anti-Semitic, racist and xenophobic views. 

With tight races up and down the ballot, Democrats quickly tried to brand her as the face of the Georgia GOP – and tie her to more vulnerable Republicans running for office in November. 

U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, chair of the political arm of House Democrats, called Greene a “next-generation Steve King” after the ousted Iowa Republican with a history of anti-immigrant and racist remarks. Scott Hogan, the executive director of Georgia Democrats, said “Republican extremism” won the night. 

“Georgia Republicans own this crisis,” he said, “and their mealy-mouthed statements can’t hide the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene’s nomination is a stain on their party.” 

President Donald Trump offered a different assessment in a post-runoff tweet, calling Greene a “future Republican Star” who is “strong on everything and never gives up - a real WINNER!”

Democrats in Georgia don't have to lift a finger to brand Greene as the face of the Georgia GOP. Greene and Trump are doing all the work for them.

Never forget thought that the GOP is the party of white supremacy, a party that sees diversity as a sin and efforts to expand diversity as nothing less than a conspiracy to obliterate White Americans.
