DES MOINES, Iowa. She rattled off pullups at the Iowa State Fair, trailed by a pack of reporters and onlookers. She dodged questions about her political future. And she railed against government restrictions at a town hall, promising the crowd of hundreds a return trip was on the books.
In short, Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's debut political trip to Iowa was much like the visits of other national Republican figures. Only Greene is trying to build her nationwide profile as a first-term lawmaker whose far-right views and past beliefs in the QAnon conspiracy theory has made her a pariah to many.
The Republican's visit Thursday to the state fair long a rite of passage for politicos jockeying for higher office was quite a spectacle.
She spoke with Iowans, listened to explanations about tractors and glided down the "Giant Slide," a staple of the event. She drew protesters, including one who wore a derisive mask who was taken away by security officials. And she attracted a curious crowd of Iowans confused and bemused by the politician at the center of so much attention.

people that see her for the scam that she is!

being the 2024 Republican front runner if the current decline in that party continues on its present trajectory.
Her...or a pile of toxic industrial sludge mixed with human feces wearing a clip-on American flag tie.

No?
Get out the vote. Work against the very legitimacy of the GQP.
