    Reminder that Georgia Democrats recruited a candidate to oust Cynthia McKinney not just once (2002) but twice (2006). Very different approach to managing the fringe.https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1316755381155135490 …

    Georgia GOP, 2020: "Loeffler [and Doug] Collins...both jockeyed for Greene’s support. It became clearer that Loeffler won out when she appeared with Greene at a September rally ringed by members of a local militia group." #GASEN https://www.ajc.com/politics/politics-blog/qanon-promoting-candidate-greene-set-to-endorse-loefflers-senate-bid/GRLYIT3QD5E6NPWQ62IEMKUNUY/ …

        McKinney lost in 2002, the victory mystifyingly ran for Senate in 2004, letting McKinney win the seat back. Then Hank Johnson was tapped to challenge McKinney, and beat her.

        In today's GOP, Greene isn't the fringe.

        A reminder of how bad McCarthy is as GOP Leader — no support for Greene’s primary opponent

        He saw what happened to Boehner and Ryan. He'd rather keep the leadership job than protect the GOP from the nutball fringe.

        Given that Kemp posed w/guns & drove around w/a truck he said he'd use to round up illegal immigrants, seems obvious GOP doesn't see Greene as fringe.

        McKinney was not nearly as... out there, as Greene is. Greene is nuts.

        As a former constituent of GA 4 McKinney is way out there. Since 2000’s the D wins 75+% of the vote. I would bet real $ she would win a crowded primary and take 70% against the GOP. GA both parties farther to the extreams. burbs are extreme 2 bad, center right would win big now

        Judging by her Twitter, McKinney is now an anti-masker and believes in Benghazi and Seth Rich conspiracies
