MSM PANIC ENGAGED
Republican QAnon candidate's record starts to look even worse

"Just on the surface, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who won a Republican congressional primary in Georgia this week and will soon be elected to Congress, is a tough-to-defend candidate. She is, after all, an adherent of the crackpot QAnon theory that says Donald Trump is secretly at war with nefarious forces of evil, including Democrats, Hollywood celebrities, the "deep state," cannibals, and an underground ring of Satanic pedophiles.
Greene has also, of course, been criticized for a number of racist comments and offensive videos.
But just below the surface, we're learning quite a bit more about the Georgia Republican's stunning record.
Before running for office, Republican congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote dozens of articles as a "correspondent" for a conspiracy news website, according to archived web pages uncovered by NBC News. In posts published on the now-defunct "American Truth Seekers" website in 2017, Greene wrote favorably of the QAnon conspiracy theory, suggested that Hillary Clinton murdered her political enemies, and ruminated on whether mass shootings were orchestrated to dismantle the Second Amendment.
Alas, there's no reason to stop here. Media Matters noted a different video in which Greene suggested the Obama administration partnered with a street gang murder Democratic National Committee staffer. The same report added that the GOP congressional candidate also falsely implicated Hillary Clinton in the death of John F. Kennedy Jr."
