(182,789 posts)it is as everyone describes (not that that is so unusual) anyone with an R wins. Hands down.
I was looking into her history. You are right her success was from her fathers mega construction company, basically cant fail. She did buy a gym and was very successful with it and I think expanded it. The thing is...this article below is long but very well done. It (from October 2020) mentions the video with Hogg. That video doesnt look or sound like its with a phone. It looks like a camera and maybe a boom mic operation but I could be wrong.
Anyway, heres something interesting from he article.
After the primary results had set up a showdown between Cowan and Greene, a friend of Savilles sent her screenshots of social-media posts written by the former owner of a CrossFit gym where, in 2012, Greene had begun to work, part time, as a coach. CrossFit is a fitness regimen famous for inspiring intense devotion; when the former gym owner, Jim Chambers, first met Greene, he got the sense that it had kind of taken her life over, he told me. She had a lot of time and a lot of money, he said, and also a vague ambition, as he saw it, to run a gym. When, eight years later, it looked like she might be headed to Congress, Chambers got on social media and told the world that, back when he knew Greene, she was having multiple, blatant extramarital affairs in front of all of us. He added, I dont even judge that, until you say the kind of shit she does and claim the Jesus about it. (Greene, who was baptized at an evangelical church in a suburb just north of Atlanta, in 2011, and speaks frequently about being Christian, has said that she wants to bring my faith and my family values to Washington.)
I spoke to one of the men with whom Greene allegedly had an affair. He asked not to be named and told me that he, too, was bothered by Greenes hypocrisy. He provided me with a screenshot of a text exchange in which Greene acknowledged sleeping with him. She never talked about politics, he said. He told me he later learned that she was also sleeping with another man who was not her husband, while the whole time being super Christian. He added, Shes not the pro-family, pro-Christian, strong-business woman she touts herself to be.
