Marjorie Taylor Greene Plays Dumb - WSJ Editorial
Just when we thought Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene couldn’t get more embarrassing for the GOP, there she goes again. This weekend she and Rep. Paul Gosar addressed a rally organized by Nick Fuentes, a fringe internet figure who has a long record of praising a coming “tidal wave of white identity.”
Ms. Greene is now playing dumb, to choose a phrase. “I do not know Nick Fuentes,” she said. “I’ve never heard him speak. I’ve never seen a video. I don’t know what his views are, so I’m not aligned with anything that may be controversial.” But in the public mind she is aligned, since she accepted a laudatory introduction from Mr. Fuentes as his special “mystery speaker.”
Here’s what Mr. Fuentes said minutes before she took the stage. “Take a look at everything we’ve put together,” he said. “You want to know the secret? To borrow a phrase from a friend of mine, our secret sauce here, it’s these young, white men. That’s what we call the secret ingredient. America and the world has forgotten about them, but not us.” He added: “They say about America, they say ‘diversity is our strength,’ you know. And I look at China, and I look at Russia. Can we give a round of applause for Russia?” The crowd cheered and chanted “Putin.” Yes, cheers for Vladimir Putin.

Associating with the likes of Mr. Fuentes is wrong as a moral matter, and it’s also political poison. A primary challenger to Ms. Greene or Mr. Gosar couldn’t have asked for better opposition research than they willingly served up. House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy can hope they lose their primaries. But if they don’t, he will have to make clear they don’t speak for the Republican Party.

She is literally that dumb.
Maybe she wants to be one too, after all you can never have enough white dudes.
