'We like the job she's doing': Georgia GOP rallies around MTG

JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been stripped of her House committee assignments and rebuked by GOP leaders for recent comments comparing vaccine and mask requirements to the Holocaust. A Democratic congressman has introduced a resolution to expel her from Congress.

But at the Georgia Republican Party convention this weekend, it was hard to find many critics of the lightning rod congresswoman.

“It’s like saying it’s ‘hot as hell,’” Debbie Dooley, a founder of the Tea Party movement in Atlanta, said of Greene’s Holocaust comparison. Dooley was among a group of attendees wearing large “We Love Marjorie” pins on Saturday with her face in the middle of them.

Greene did not attend the convention. But when asked about her appeal, more than 20 party activists and officials mentioned her disregard for political correctness and approach to politics as a “Washington outsider.” Many said they appreciate her willingness to say what she believes, even if it is inaccurate or dangerous — the same traits they admired in former President Donald Trump.

They don’t care about policy or politics. They don’t care about getting anything done. They want bread and circuses. And if we let them rule we will fall.

she's INSANE!!!!!!!!! Actually, that's unfair of me to say. She's more of a con (like her idol DT) I seriously doubt she believes all the crap she spews, but she thinks the donald will enable her to succeed, get lots of $$$, & have her nutso supporters kiss her feet! The area where she's living is beyond red, neon scarlet maybe, & very easily influenced by the right people, like MTG!
