Green was previously favored by Republican House members until videos first found by Politico showed Green talking about Islamic nations being under Sharia law and where men have sex with "little boys, little girls, multiple women" and "marry their sisters" and "their cousins."

Green called the 2018 election of certain freshmen Democratic members “an Islamic invasion of our government” and that “anyone that is a Muslim that believes in Sharia law does not belong in our government.”

In another instance captured on the videos, she compared Black Lives Matter activists to the neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members who demonstrated three years ago in Charlottesville, Virginia.

“Guess what? Slavery is over,” she said in one of the videos. “Black people have equal rights.”

Republican Leadership rebuked Greene’s remarks when they surfaced.

“These comments are appalling, and Leader McCarthy has no tolerance for them,” said Drew Florio, a spokesman for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, to the publication. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, excoriated Greene and endorsed her primary opponent.

“The comments made by Ms. Greene are disgusting and don’t reflect the values of equality and decency that make our country great,” Scalise said in a statement to the outlet. “I will be supporting Dr. Cowan.”

Georgia Republican Rep. Jody Hice, a House Freedom Caucus member, rescinded his endorsement of Greene, whom he initially helped recruit into the race. “In the midst of these difficult times, it is more important than ever before that we have leaders in Washington who can heal our nation, not divide it further,” Hice wrote on his Facebook page “I find Marjorie Taylor Greene's statements appalling and deeply troubling, and I can no longer support her candidacy in Georgia's 14th Congressional District.”

Greene, known as a QAnon conspiracy theorist, was undeterred by the criticism from Capitol Hill Republicans.

“No one intimidates me,” she wrote on Twitter. “Not the Democrats, Not George Soros, not the Fake News Media, and not the DC Swamp.” Cowan responded: “Vote #CowanForCongress: All of the conservative, none of the embarrassment.”

Her opponent sounds like a fucking RINO.
