Trump Campaign Goes After GOP Rep. Who Denounced Marjorie Greene

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-campaign-marjorie-greene-kinzinger

The deputy communications director for President Donald Trump lashed out Wednesday at a Republican congressman who disavowed Marjorie Greene, a QAnon-supporting candidate who will almost certainly become a member of Congress this fall.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) has broken with the party and President Donald Trump before, particularly on military affairs. Kinzinger is an Air Force veteran and continues to serve in the Air National Guard.

Along with adherence to extreme parts of the QAnon conspiracy theory, Greene also has recorded herself saying racist, Islamophobic and antisemitic things in social media videos.

Though national Republicans initially disavowed her, they did little to change the trajectory of the race. After beating neurosurgeon John Cowan in the first round of the Republican primary for Georgia’s 14th district, Greene crushed him Tuesday night in the runoff with 57 percent of the vote.

I don't know if he bumped his head and has amnesia, but he's been surprisingly reasonable lately.
He was never a teabag flamethrower, but he's a randian.
Must be good at sensing wind direction, because he's been distancing himself from the crazy among the Republics.
