On Jan. 7, 2021, Marcus Flowers resigned from his position as a federal government official and decided to run for a congressional seat in Georgia.
His opponent, Republican firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, unwittingly helped spur the decision through her unrelenting and groundless claims that widespread election fraud led to Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump.
This campaign was born on Jan. 6 when I saw police officers being beaten with an American flag and a Confederate battle flag being paraded through our Capitol Rotunda, Flowers, a Democrat, told USA TODAY in an interview. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others pushing the Big Lie drove those people to the Capitol.
Greene first grew in notoriety due to her embrace of the conspiracist QAnon movement. She has since spent her first term without committee assignments, feuding with colleagues and refuting any ties to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack. Greene's campaign did not respond to USA TODAY requests for an interview or comment.
