Republicans are increasingly concerned that the controversy over Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.) could define the party and its candidates in the 2022 midterms, throwing a wrench in GOP efforts to recapture the support of suburban voters.
Democrats have already jumped on the outrage surrounding Greene. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Tuesday launched a six-figure ad campaign tying Republicans to the QAnon conspiracy theory, which Greene has voiced support for in the past, while Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) referred to Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as "Q-CA" in a press release on Wednesday.
On Thursday, the Democratic group House Majority Forward released an ad accusing McCarthy of warmly embracing "the QAnon Caucus," after the California Republican signaled he wouldn't move to punish Greene over her past comments.
"I don't think someone is going to vote against Brian Kemp because of what this woman said in the past, but will it be used to try and paint a picture that is negative? Yeah," said Chuck Clay, a former Georgia Republican Party chairman.

(25,969 posts)including the "bullet to the head" comment regarding Pelosi -- this is what they're worried about?
Fine. Stay worried, jackasses.
