House Republicans abandon Georgia primary candidate after racist videos emerge

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A Georgia GOP candidate for the House of Representatives lost support from Republican lawmakers after racist videos of her emerged on the internet, forcing them to throw their backing to her runoff rival.

Marjorie Taylor Green was the first of the top two finishers in the GOP primary for Georgia's 14th Congressional District on June 9 for the seat now held by retiring Republican Rep. Tom Graves. Green drew 41% of the vote, while Republican opponent Dr. John Cowan picked up 19%. Since neither was able to break the 50% threshold necessary to earn the nomination immediately, both will face each other again in a runoff on Aug. 11.

Green was previously favored by Republican House members until videos first found by Politico showed Green talking about Islamic nations being under Sharia law and where men have sex with "little boys, little girls, multiple women" and "marry their sisters" and "their cousins."

Green called the 2018 election of certain freshmen Democratic members “an Islamic invasion of our government” and that “anyone that is a Muslim that believes in Sharia law does not belong in our government.”

1. McCarthy And Scalise Sound Ridiculous 'Denouncing' These Comments, Sir

This woman has simply said what the voters McCarthy and Scalise depend on for election honestly believe. It is quite likely most of her 'shocking' comments are things McCarthy and Scalise have said among intimates round the kitchen table themselves. If they were honest men, which or course they are not and would never dream of being, their complaint would be that Ms. Green says the quiet parts out loud, and that makes it hard to sell their game, so she should stop making things difficult for everyone.

3. Bingo. She said the quiet parts out loud, and they can't have that.

It's much easier to lie about motivations when they are kept kept hush-hush.

Greene, known as a QAnon conspiracy theorist, was undeterred by the criticism from Capitol Hill Republicans.

Odd, her association with QAnon didn't seem to bother them.

2. I'm confused
