Trump and top House Republican embrace candidate who promoted QAnon conspiracy theory

Top Republicans, including President Donald Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, are embracing their party's nominee for a House seat in Georgia, despite her history of racist and anti-Semitic remarks and promotion of the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory.

Trump gave a full-throated endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday after she won a primary runoff in Georgia, calling her a "future Republican Star" and "a real WINNER!" in a tweet.




Greene has drawn backlash from some GOP lawmakers -- and has even previously been rebuked by McCarthy and other House Republican leaders -- and put the party in a difficult position during an election year where control of the White House and Congress are at stake. But top Republicans are now backing her after she defeated John Cowan in a runoff.

Top House Republican leaders were silent on Greene's victory Tuesday night and didn't weigh in for hours on Wednesday morning, but then offered an endorsement in response to questions from CNN.

And if Putin & McConnell steal another election they will be indicting Hillary Clinton for whatever it is Qanon says she does soon enough never mind she’s never done any of those things, nobody has

And I just frustratingly watched Amy Klobuchar respond to Rachel about not destroying the post office and she says we’ve got to get them back to the table for funding for the post office.

There is no table, there is no funding, there is no America functioning anymore, and there will be nothing we can do in the next 90 days to stop them from destroying the post office and our voting and I don’t know why people aren’t talking about it in those terms.

Love Amy, I get it, but goddamnit this is almost a done deal we’re almost gone for good
