The GOP dives deeper into nutjob territory

In the Facebook post, [Georgia Republican congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor] Greene said she was “tired of seeing weak, Establishment Republicans play defense.”

“We need strong conservative Christians to go on offense against these socialists who want to rip our country apart,” Green wrote in the caption of the photo, which included two Muslim lawmakers.

Greene, a businesswoman who won the GOP primary runoff in a solidly red district in Georgia last month, has previously been a proponent of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

The theory claims there is a group of U.S. officials and celebrities who are controlling the government to undermine President Trump and run a child sex trafficking ring.

Politico reported in June that Greene has also made other incendiary remarks in recent years, including that Muslims do not belong in government and that there is "an Islamic invasion into our government offices."

Trump congratulated Greene on her primary win last month and previously called her a "future Republican star."

Top Republican lawmakers such as Lindsey Graham (S.C.) have denounced the QAnon theory while Greene herself has distanced herself from the movement.

How?

By the way, Ilhan Omar objected to Greene's disgusting picture post.

Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone responded to Omar’s tweet on Thursday, saying the post had been taken down because it violated community guidelines.

“Thank you for raising this, Congresswoman. The image violates our policies and we've removed it,” he tweeted.
