So has she said she believes in Jewish space lasers and Hitler did nothing wrong or is it guilt by association? I tried to read the article linked but didn’t see anything she specifically posted on those subjects?
I think she could wind up being the party nominee for Vice President. She represents the loony wing of the Republican Party, which is now as powerful a constituency as any, and if a more "mainstream" candidate wins the nomination, they could pick her to bring the loony wing on board. I am dead serious. She's no dumber that Sarah Palin.

This has a lot of details, including links to things she has said and done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjorie_Taylor_Greene And you have to watch the video attached to this article: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world...93806.html She's walking around looking for Muslim members of Congress to tell them they have to swear in on a Bible.

She is seriously effed in the head. No iffs or butts.
A complete an utter nutjob.

I'm not okay with extremism, conspiracy theories, death threats, etc., from anyone. People like that don't belong in government, period. I figured as much by the tone of the article but nobody else is saying anything different. In her speech to the senate she sounded like she was backpedaling on all the things dredged up. Still not fit for her position.
The democrats have their fair share of legitimately crazy people. A person should be "fit" for the office, but that's not a real requirement. I think it's on the respective parties to police their own. Now we have a new precedent that will be politicized. Yay for the Republic.

Yay for the Republic. The respective parties should police their own, yes. Republicans stripped Steve Kiing of his committee posts after he endorsed a conspiracy theory that western elites were deliberately trying to replace white people with non white people. That was only 2 years ago! If Republicans had simply done the same thing to MTG, Democrats would not have needed to break precedent. Tradition and precedent give both prerogatives and responsibilities. If you don't use your prerogatives to perform your responsibilities, you lose them. Simple. Sad.

Bro, MTG admitted to believing in false information, corrected her position on many issues, and promised to be more careful moving forward, which is exactly what you want when you are bringing about correction in an individual. Republicans said she would be removed if she didn't tone down her reckless statements. Let her prove herself. Dems did the same thing with Ilhan Omar. She didn't change, of course, but that was their excuse from not removing her from committees. I have no problem with removing a person that is repeatedly careless, but dems took matters into their own hands. If Repubs did that with Omar, all hell would break lose. Expect a continued dissolution of norms in our system. It's basically an arms race. We'll see, but there's more to follow almost certainly.
