Loeffler likely sees Marjorie Taylor Greene's support as a way to lock up conservative votes in her race against Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) in the Georgia special election.
Sen. Kelly Loeffler accepted the endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, an extreme Republican congressional candidate who has embraced the QAnon conspiracy movement, which is growing increasingly popular on the right.
“I’m not going to stand for an attack on her character, because she has stood for American values,” Loeffler said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Loeffler, a business executive was appointed to her seat earlier this year, is locked in a heated race for Republican votes with Rep. Doug Collins . Her campaign likely views Greene’s support as a way to consolidate right-wing voters, who have increasingly warmed to QAnon conspiracy theories, which have proliferated under President Donald Trump.
“There’s apparently no limit to how hard Senator Kelly Loeffler will pander to save her campaign — including embracing support from bigots and far-right militia members,” Alex Floyd, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Georgia, said in a statement.
