Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., despite her run-ins with House and party leaders, and an effort to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsmax-tv\/marjorie-taylor-greene-congress-house-expel\/2021\/03\/23\/id\/1014856\/\">expel<\/a> her from Congress.<\/p>\n<p>At the state\u2019s GOP convention over the weekend, Greene, who did not attend, largely escaped criticism, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/06\/06\/marjorie-taylor-greene-georgia-gop-491994\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like saying it\u2019s \u2018hot as hell,\u2019\u201d Debbie Dooley, a founder of the Tea Party movement in Atlanta \u2014 who wore a \u201cWe Love Marjorie\u201d pin \u2014 told the news outlet about Greene\u2019s comparison of COVID-19 vaccine and mask requirements to the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p>According to Politico, more than 20 party activists and officials mentioned Greene\u2019s disregard for political correctness and approach to politics as a \u201cWashington outsider.\u201d Many said they appreciate that she says what she believes, even if it\u2019s inaccurate or dangerous \u2014 the same traits they admired in former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf that were me up there, I\u2019d be doing the same thing. Though she probably does it with more tact,\u201d Sara Lain-Moneymaker, one of the hundreds of first-time convention attendees, told Politico.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper Jacks, 14, the chairman of the Georgia Teen Republicans and a native of Greene\u2019s north Georgia-based district, got a standing ovation after mentioning Greene in his Friday convention speech, Politico reported.<\/p>\n<p>The teen began as a volunteer for Greene\u2019s campaign before becoming a paid staffer, and said full-throated support for her is common.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s very dynamic, very personable. She\u2019s someone who\u2019s different from the typical politician,\u201d he told Politico. \u201cWhen you go to her district and talk to people about her, they\u2019re going to tell you, \u2018we like the job she\u2019s doing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and other Washington Republicans who have condemned Greene\u2019s comments are part of the problem, Greene\u2019s supporters told Politico, arguing she stands up for their beliefs and should be free to do so. Others contend that like Trump, Greene should be taken seriously, but not literally, Politico reported.<\/p>\n<p>One delegate, Joe Bohannon, said he \u201cdidn\u2019t hear that\u201d about her Holocaust remark but nevertheless admired her \u201ctenacity,\u201d Politico reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s making waves. I just don\u2019t know if that\u2019s a good thing or a bad thing yet,\u201d Joel Allen, a party official in suburban Atlanta\u2019s 6th Congressional District, told Politico. \u201cI like that she\u2019s making waves. I just wish she was a little more controlled.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia Republicans are reportedly rallying around Rep.
