'MTG for Speaker!' Internet reacts after Marjorie Taylor Greene is reelected in Georgia

Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene has easily fended off her Democratic challenger Marcus Flowers

ROME, GEORGIA: GOP Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene has won a second term representing Georgia’s 14th district in the House of Representatives, defeating Democrat Marcus Flowers on Tuesday, November 8. She won by 64.5 per cent of votes, whereas, Flowers, an Army veteran and defense contractor, secured 35.5 per cent, reports The Wall Street Journal. 

Greene, who has been a controversial Republican, is a strong supporter of former president Donald Trump and a promoter of antisemitic conspiracy theories such as QAnon. Earlier this year, her personal Twitter account was permanently banned after she repeatedly violated the social network's COVID-19 misinformation policy, as per Variety. She has also made repeated calls for Joe Biden's impeachment since he took office. She wrote on Twitter on Monday, November 7, "Throwback to January 12, 2021. I will never forget voting NO against Nancy Pelosi's political assassination attempt by impeaching President Trump with ZERO evidence.” "We will impeach Biden with proof. It will be easy," she added and said in Tuesday's midterm elections at November 7 campaign rally in Vandalia, Ohio, “We can impeach [Homeland Security] Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas, we can impeach [Attorney General] Merrick Garland and we can and we will impeach Joe Biden,” reports Newsweek.
