Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tried so hard to normalize herself, tweeting out a Christian-nationalist-infused tweet attacking the "deep state globalists.
Oops.
Apparently, she had a flashback to her QAnon Klan mom days. "One World government" is part of the globalist conspiracy theory in QAnon.
It's also very anti-Semitic.
Just a little over a week ago, Rep. Greene joined Fox News sporting a big smile and new hairdo and explained how she got sucked into conspiracy theories online but is no longer that way.
As I wrote on January 8th, when Howard Kurtz did his Fox News duty, Marge's claim to new found normalcy didn't ring true.
On Media Buzz, she explained how she's suddenly changed.
"Well, like a lot of people today, I had easily gotten sucked into things I saw on the internet," Greene said. "But that was dealt with quickly early on, I never campaigned on those things --that was not something I believed in, that's not what I ran for Congress on, so those are so far in the past."
Greene did run on the outrageous lies of QAnon because she didn't refute them until she was voted into Congress.
All normal people didn't get sucked into believing there are Jewish space lasers, either. That takes a certain amount of crazy mixed with anti-Semitism.
Marge is engaged in a very difficult balancing act here. Her fundraising juggernaut (she's in the top 10 of House fundraisers for Republicans) is based on her QAnon nutjob cred.
But if she wants legitimacy and a role in House leadership, as her recent behavior indicates, she'll have to back off the anti-Semitism and wackadoodle conspiracies.
Can Marge balance between her QAnon fundraising and House leadership? Signs point to yes in the Republican House with an extremely weak speaker and a complicit media.
