Not All Georgia Republicans Want More Marjorie Taylor Greene

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene won’t return to Congress for a second term without confronting some opposition from Republicans in her Georgia district, where several challengers are trying to knock her out in the GOP primary.

Greene is still highly favored to win a second term, but her opponents underscore the frustration some in the party have with the congresswoman’s relentless focus on extreme rhetoric over actual legislating.

“I’m very concerned with the direction of our country. We need a serious representative who actually wants to do the work, wants to go to committee hearings, wants to serve constituents, wants to work with colleagues to craft meaningful policy — and frankly we don’t have that today,” one of her challengers, 35-year-old Jennifer Strahan, told HuffPost.

Greene’s GOP detractors say her antics may have established her nationally, but they’re embarrassing her constituents in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District. A year into her term, Greene has already been removed from committees for promoting violence toward Democrats. She has drafted articles of impeachment against Joe Biden, promoted baseless voter fraud conspiracies, championed those accused in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and forfeited much of her paycheck over fines for refusing to wear a mask on the House floor.

2. Marjorie Greene is a colossal idiot who I wouldn't trust to run a 7-11.

...and she's running as a more focused pro-Trump candidate.
