Back home in Georgia, voters stand with QAnon congresswoman – By Chris Moody (Al Jazeera) / Feb 3 2021
Marjorie Taylor Greene may be embroiled in controversy, but the people who voted her in say, ‘We love her’.
Lookout Mountain, Georgia, US — As Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene faces bipartisan condemnation for her unapologetic embrace of conspiracy theories, her supporters back home say she is doing what they sent her to Washington to do.
“She went to Washington to take a stand for the American people. We’re proud of her,” said Dianne Putnam, chair of the Republican Party in Georgia’s Whitfield County. “We love her. We voted her in. We stand with her.”
Greene’s district, comprising 12 counties tucked into the northwest corner of Georgia, is home to some of the state’s most conservative voters.
Although Georgians statewide supported Democrat Joe Biden for president and awarded Democrats with two Senate seats, the counties in Greene’s district overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump and Republicans. Trump made multiple visits to this Republican stronghold, both during his re-election campaign and to support the Republican candidates in the Senate runoff elections last month.
