After her victory last November in an ultra-conservative Georgia stronghold, Marjorie Taylor Greene is not unanimous, even within her party.
During her campaign, she claimed to be part of the pro-Trump QAnon movement, a far-right conspiracy movement.
Called for resignation, it has just been described as "cancer" by Senator Mitch McConnell, leader of the Republicans in the US Senate.
It is "a cancer for the Republican Party".
He did not go dead hand, Senator Mitch McConnell, leader of the Republicans in the US Senate, to qualify, without naming her, Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday.
Elected in November in the United States, in a very conservative corner of Georgia, this 46-year-old American dismisses and worries the American political class, which calls for her to quit.
“Big victory tonight!
The Republican tweeted on the night of her election with 75% of the vote, an overwhelming majority.
A result immediately hailed by Donald Trump: “Marjorie is solid in all respects and she never gives up - a real WINNER!
Since then, videos of his statements have resurfaced.
Like, for example, this scene from 2019, in which she is filmed following David Hogg, a young survivor of the Parkland massacre, who killed 17 people in 2018. While he now campaigns for the limitation of small arms , Marjorie Taylor Greene asked him to explain his position.
"He's a coward," we can hear him say.
"I absolutely remember that," Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg says about GOP Rep.

"As I was told growing up, it's just better not to respond to bullies and just walk away."

Anti-Covid but pro-Trump masks
On Facebook, she also said that several shootings in schools had been staged, in order to toughen the regulation of firearms.
A position to which she has since returned, after meeting the relatives of victims.
Also on the social network, the Republican had "liked" a comment affirming that a "bullet in the head" of Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic president of the House of Representatives, would be the fastest way for her to occupy plus its functions, according to CNN.
“I am the biggest threat to Democrats and militant media.
(…) They think Trump is gone, so they attack us, you and me.
He's not gone.
We will not back down and we will never give up!
»Tweeted the elected to the House of Representatives.
The Republican MP is indeed firmly convinced of the theft of Donald Trump's victory by Joe Biden.
An opinion, disputed by the official results, which she also passed on her various masks against the Covid-19, according to her appearances: "Trump won", "Stop the theft [of the election] You could read at the bottom of his face.
His Twitter account was suspended for twelve hours after statements denouncing alleged election fraud.
QAnon follower
The one who claims to be "100% pro-life [anti-abortion], pro-firearms and pro-Trump" supports the conspiracy theses of the far-right movement QAnon.
“This is the opportunity of a lifetime to eliminate this global cabal of satanist pedophiles and I think we have the right president for that,” she said during the last campaign.
Since his election, however, Greene has distanced himself from the movement.
Claiming that the protesters of the anti-racism movement Black Lives Matter were dangerous antifas, she also assured that white men were "the most abused group today in the United States" and denied that African Americans are victims of racism.
" You know what ?
Racism is over, ”she said in a video published by
Politico
.
“Blacks have the same rights.
She also denounced "an Islamic invasion", referring to the election in 2018 to the House of Representatives of two Muslim women, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
A summit meeting in Mar-a-Lago
Opinions that shock even within his own party in the United States: “Someone who suggested that there may not have been a plane that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11, that the appalling school shootings had been staged, (…) does not live in the real world, ”Mitch McConnell said in a statement to
The Hill
media outlet
.
“What worries me is that the Republican leaders of the House are ready to (…) ignore these statements,” said Nancy Pelosi.
“Appoint her to the Education Commission, when she made fun of the killing of children, (…) but what were they thinking?
In response, Republican lower house leader Kevin McCarthy indicated he would meet with her, according to CNN.
While several members of Congress are calling for her resignation, a highly unlikely hypothesis, she claims to have received the support of Donald Trump and has indicated that she should meet with him in the coming weeks in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
What to make even more improbable a possible action of his party, because to attack it, it is to attack the legacy of the former president.
Not enough, however, to bend the Democrats, who said they were ready to take unilateral measures to remove the elected representative from all responsibility in a committee.
