MTG Squashes Former Beliefs In QANON

Fox News’ Howard Kurtz confronted Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) over her promotion of bizarre and horrific conspiracy theories over the years.

Kurtz interviewed Greene on Sunday for MediaBuzz after she functioned as one of Kevin McCarthy’s most vocal supporters throughout the chaos before he finally got voted in as House Speaker. At one point, Kurtz switched topics to talk about how Greene was stripped of her committee assignments years ago over her violent rhetoric, conspiratorial beliefs, and other repugnant views she expressed throughout her personal history.

“That was raw politics,” Kurtz said. “But in fairness, didn’t you also say around that period that you had been a follower of QAnon conspiracy theories, and you had rethought this and you were no longer influenced by the group?”

Greene’s explanation:

Well, like a lot of people today, I had easily gotten sucked into some things I had seen on the internet. 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.
