“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 . The senator touted the endorsement at an event with Greene on Thursday, defending Greene by saying “no one in Georgia cares about this QAnon business.”Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) 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. 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 (R-Ga.). (Georgia has a “jungle primary” system in which all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party.) Greene is one of at least two dozen GOP congressional candidates — including the Republican Senate nominees in Oregon and Delaware — who have expressed support for QAnon’s fringe theories.
