After she tried to denounce QAnon’s radical conspiracy theories, the movement is divided over to continue supporting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene or just give up on her.
The Georgia congresswoman spoke on the House floor ahead of a vote to remove her from committee duties and made incendiary comments about the QAnon community.
“The problem with that is, though, is I was allowed to believe things that weren’t true and I would ask questions about them and talk about them and that is absolutely what I regret,” Greene said.
“So later in 2018, when I started finding misinformation, lies, things that were not true in these QAnon posts, I stopped believing it.”
On Thursday, the motion to remove Greene was passed by 230 votes to 199, supported by 11 Republicans.
“She folded like a cheap chair at the first sign of resistance,” Travis Saizan wrote.
“I’d rather have them expel me completely and go home with my head held high than give up my beliefs. But they were never hers, she just ran on the coattails of our movement. I will forget she was ever my countryman.”
Leslie M commented: “I hope you can explain why you turned your grassroots base against you. I championed you…then you caved and turned on the truth.”
Some Qanon supporters, however, remained rallied behind the expelled lawmaker: “It’s so sickening that some of the Republicans voted against her,” one wrote.
“Just remember Where We Go One We Go ALL,” another wrote. “We support you! You are not alone… stand strong, stand proud, and never back down and never let them see you sweat.”
