Trump Congratulates QAnon-Loving Candidate Who Called Pelosi a ‘B*tch’ in Victory Speech, ‘Future Republican Star!’

By

Donald Trump tweeted support for businesswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday, calling her a “future Republican Star” after she secured the Republican nomination for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, despite embracing a fringe conspiracy theory and facing backlash for espousing racist, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic views in past videos.

“Congratulations to future Republican Star Marjorie Taylor Greene on a big Congressional primary win in Georgia against a very tough and smart opponent. Marjorie is strong on everything and never gives up – a real WINNER!” the president tweeted.

“The GOP establishment, the media, & the radical left, spent months & millions of dollars attacking me. Tonight the people of Georgia stood up & said that we will not be intimidated or believe those lies. I’m excited to be the next Congresswoman of GA 14,” Greene tweeted Tuesday night. “God bless America.”

In her victory speech, Greene also criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying, “She’s a hypocrite. She’s anti-American. And we’re going to kick that bitch out of Congress.” And Greene said bitch. She didn’t say “B-word” or anything like that.

Greene has made headlines for her incendiary Islamophobic and anti-Semitic comments, as well as for claims that Black people aren’t discriminated against.

After the original June 9 GOP primary, where neither she nor Cowan got a majority of the vote, Politico uncovered controversial remarks Greene made in videos posted to her Facebook page from 2017 to 2019.

In one, she suggested the 2018 midterms, in which Reps. Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib, were elected, were part of “an Islamic invasion of our government.” The two were the first Muslim women elected to Congress.

Greene also dismissed the idea that Black Americans face discrimination. “Guess what? Slavery is over,” she said. “Black people have equal rights.”

She has called the progressive billionaire activist George Soros, who is Jewish, a “Nazi.”

QAnon is a growing right-wing conspiracy theory that has garnered national attention, claiming that there is a “deep state” apparatus run by political elites, business leaders and Hollywood celebrities who are also pedophiles and actively working against Trump.

Twitter was rather shocked, but not surprised, that Trump has embraced such a horrible person:

And if you can stomach it, here are some clips of Greene sprouting her hate. Remember, this woman will most likely win. She’s in a deeply, deeply red district and will most likely be sitting in Congress next January. And Trump supports her and calls her a future star.
