GOP Leaders Are Forming A Plan To Push Out Rep. Greene

Senator Mitt Romney said that it would be best for his party to distance themselves from lawmakers like Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene as GOP leaders are forced by their Senate colleagues to figure out a way to deal with the intrepid newbie congresswoman.

“I think we should have nothing to do with Marjorie Taylor Greene, and think we should repudiate the things she said and move away from her,” said Romney.

“Our big tent is not large enough to both accommodate conservatives and kooks,” he added. “It’s important for us to separate ourselves from the people that are the wacky weeds.”

In the past Greene, a Trump loyalist has expressed her support for QAnon which causes problems for a party trying to distance itself from the former president’s unproven claims of election fraud and the Capitol attacks on January 6.

The Georgia Representative disavowed the QAnon last summer but old social media posts suggest that she alleged that the Parkland School shooting in 2018 that killed 17 students was “staged” and the September 11 attacks were a hoax. There were also several posts she “liked” that called for violence against prominent Democrats, including Houses Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Earlier this week Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell slammed the congresswoman without directly addressing her saying that “loony lies and conspiracy theories” are a “cancer for the Republican Party and our country.”

Greene responded to McConnell’s comments on Twitter saying, “The real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to loses gracefully. This is why we are losing our country.”

House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy said he finds Greene’s social media posts “deeply disturbing” and he plans on having a discussion with her about it.

Senator Joni Ernst does not want Greene to be the “face” of the GOP but when asked if she should be stripped of her title Ernst said, “That’s up to the House.”
