MTG Boasts Of “Better Chance” To Overturn Obergefell, Declares “The Bible Tells Us” Marriage Is Not For Gays

First, some analysis from the Associated Press:



Once shunned as a political pariah for her extremist rhetoric, the Georgia congresswoman who spent her first term in the House stripped of institutional power by Democrats is being celebrated by Republicans and welcomed into the GOP fold. If Republicans win the House majority in the November election, Greene is poised to become an influential player shaping the GOP agenda, an agitator with clout.

This is the outlook for the Republican Party in the Trump era, the normalizing of once fringe figures into the highest ranks of political power. It’s a sign of the GOP’s rightward drift that Greene’s association with extremists and nationalists, violent rhetoric and remarks about Jewish people have found a home in elected office. Her proximity to Trump makes her a force that cannot be ignored by what’s left of her mainstream GOP colleagues.
