Apparently Marjorie Greene isn’t Right Wing Enough.

The far right will always continue to move the needle.

There’s no satisfying the right wing.

Water is wet, and the right wing will always continue to move the needle. It shouldn’t be any surprise, really, after the GOP spent decades carefully planning for this moment. A time where they would be able to funnel as much money as they like into elections and purchase whatever legislative outcome they would like, eroding our democratic process and whatever is left of our social safety nets in order to expand the gap between the wealthy, and the rest of us. We’ve watched them relentlessly searching for and zeroing in on their latest targets for the base to be mad at, singling out marginalized groups as the source for all their woes.

The thing is, the only way this is sustainable is if they continue moving to the right and naturally, Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Greene is now on the list of those who far right figures like Steve Bannon no longer consider conservative enough.

Alia Shoaib with Business Insider writes:

Steve Bannon criticized his former ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s decision to support the debt-ceiling deal and called for her to be challenged in the next primary.
