For some, conspiracy theories are very serious. Some of these may sit in Congress in the United States next year.
That applies, among other Republicans, to Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene. A successful businesswoman who took over the construction company for her father.
Greene won the battle for the party nomination after the opponent ran away, and now the chances are high that she will be found in Congress next year.
In recent years, she has distinguished herself as a Republican politician with a city far to the right.
And the brilliant 46-year-old has reached out to voters in Georgia, despite, or because of, her support for the QAnon conspiracy theory.
– Save America, stop socialism! There is little doubt about Greene’s political message.

Believe in Trump
QAnon claims, among other things, that Democrats and the government are satanic pedophiles that Trump is working to combat.
“This is a” once in a lifetime “opportunity to eliminate the worldwide network of devil-worshiping pedophiles, and I believe we have the president to do it,” he said.
QAnon is very controversial. Both Facebook and YouTube have announced that they will remove all groups or pages that openly identify with the movement, which will be linked to several violent incidents.
This summer, both Twitter and Facebook removed several thousand accounts that could be linked to QAnon.

Trump rose
Other surprising comments Greene has made are that “the most abused group of people in America today are white men.”
He has also compared Black Lives Matter activists to the right-wing extremist and racist Ku Klux Klan.
On Facebook, he has also claimed that House Leader Nancy Pelosi was guilty of treason and that she should therefore be executed, writes CNN.
However, there are many signs that Greene may be the first politician in Congress to openly support QAnon.
He won the battle for the nomination in what is considered a safe Republican circle in Georgia and most people believe he will go to Washington next year.
President Donald Trump also supported her when he described her as a “future Republican star” and a “true winner.”
Not everyone is happy with it.
– We once had Republican leaders who worked to keep extremists out of power. Now his crazy and dangerous ideas are being accepted, Republican Rudy Oeftering of Texas tells The Irish Times.
But Greene is not alone in supporting the conspiracy theory among American politicians.
According to Media Matters, QAnon supporters are running in at least 12 states, including Oregon, California, Colorado and Illinois.
Recently, the House of Representatives also voted in favor of a proposal to convict QAnon. The proposal received a majority, but 17 members of the Republican Party, as well as an independent representative, also voted against it.

I would not condemn
Even after a quarter of an hour, QAnon supporters have detached themselves from computer screens and made items visible at President Trump’s public meeting.
The president also did not want to condemn the conspiracy theory when asked about it during a public meeting in Miami on Friday night.
Trump claimed to have no knowledge of QAnon, although he has been asked several times about this. Trump has also retweeted messages from supporters.
– I have heard that this is a person who loves our country, said about the supporters during a press conference at the White House on August 19.
– I understand that you like it a lot, something I appreciate, he said then.
