By now, many of you have seen Marjorie Taylor Greene attempt to defend herself as the House votes to boot her off the Education and Budget committees. In case you missed them, though, watch here via C-SPAN.
The Mad Georgian claims that she disavowed QAnon in 2018. But that's not true. For instance, Will Sommer of Daily Beast revealed that in December—a month after being coronated as the member for GA-14—she tweeted out a QAnon-promoting article from Andrew Torba, founder of Gab. In it, Torba claimed QAnon’s followers were promoting a “refreshing and objective flow of information” through a “decentralized new media network.” He also claimed the big bad mainstream media was teaming up with Big Tech to silence QAnon because it was “organizing and uniting Christians.”
Greene has since deleted her tweet, but Sommer has a receipt.
Plus, disinformation researcher Melissa Ryan revealed that Greene was part of a mob of QAnon followers who harassed her in December after she claimed Tulsi Gabbard had “gone QAnon” with her attacks on “Cuties.” After Ryan claimed Gabbard fired off a tweet that was “worded in a way that seemed to appeal to QAnon,” Greene lit into Ryan with this.
Those alone would be enough to prove that Greene was still drinking the Q-aid. But it turns out that Greene was peddling a QAnon trope as late as this week. Sunday, to be precise.
I flagged this on Monday. It’s a twist on a common QAnon trope—claiming that those who dared oppose Trump are covering for pedophiles—if they’re not pedophiles themselves. As I write this, that tweet is still there.
It’s been amply established that Greene is basically a female Trump. But in light of this evidence that she still very much “trusts the plan,” it’s a wonder her pants didn’t burst into flames on the House floor when she spoke today. After all, just like her dear one, Greene is a really, really, REALLY bad liar.
