A top official from the GOP elections in Georgia describes Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) As an anchor on the GOP that will hurt it in the future.
If you have common sense, you know she’s an anchor at the party. It weighs heavily on us, ”Gabriel Sterling told Politico.
Greene, who has supported QAnon’s conspiracy theory in the past, has engaged in a number of controversies, including the suggestion that school shootings are false flag operations and that Democratic office holders such as Speaker Nancy Pelosi

“Some people say Nancy Pelosi might throw her out … The Democrats would never throw her out,” Sterling said. They want her to be the definition of what a Republican is. They will give her every opportunity to speak and be heard and look crazy – like what came out on Wednesday, the Jewish space laser to start fires. I mean, I don’t know how far down the rabbit hole you go. “
Another conspiracy theory Greene has given vent to is that lasers started the California wildfires.
It would take two-thirds of the votes in the House to remove her, which is a high threshold.

Sterling became the object of contempt for Trump and his allies after he challenged Trump’s false claims about a “fake” election in Georgia and warned that Trump was conducting a dangerous smear campaign against him and other Republican government officials.
“It has to stop,” Sterling said in December of threats received by state employees following Trump’s attacks. “Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language.”
“These are elections,” he added. This is the backbone of democracy, and all of you who haven’t said a damn word are complicit in this. It is too much.”
