Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said ‘like a lot of people’ she had ‘easily gotten sucked into some things I had seen on the internet’ regarding QAnon conspiracy theories – By Kelsey Vlamis (Business Insider) / Jan 8, 2023
- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was stripped from committee assignments after joining Congress in 2021.
- Statements surfaced of her supporting conspiracies and advocating for violence against Democrats.
- Greene said Sunday her QAnon support was in the past and that she got sucked into things online.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said in a Sunday TV interview that like many other Americans, she had gotten “sucked into” QAnon conspiracy theories that she saw online.
Green appeared on Fox News’ “MediaBuzz” on Sunday to discuss the events that unfolded in the House last week as Republicans spent days negotiating to eventually elect Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California as speaker.
Greene noted that many of the 20 Republican holdouts who eventually came around had requested committee assignments before agreeing to back McCarthy, adding that she, on the other hand, was still not on any committees.
The host Howard Kurtz said Democrats stripped Greene of her committees in 2021 due to statements she made about conspiracy theories and her past support of QAnon.
