Marjorie Taylor Greene: Pro-Trump congresswoman's 'loony lies' branded a 'cancer' on Republican Party | US News | Sky News
Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell has labelled far-right Marjorie Taylor Greene's embrace of conspiracy theories as "loony lies" and a "cancer" for their party.
Mr McConnell, the top Republican in the US Senate, has intensified pressure on the far-right Georgia congresswoman after, among other moves, she amplified QAnon conspiracy theories which focus on the debunked belief that top Democrats are involved in child sex trafficking, Satan worship and cannibalism.
He told The Hill newspaper: "Somebody who's suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jnr's airplane is not living in reality.
"This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen our party."
But Ms Greene would not be silenced by his stinging criticism.
In a strident broadside on Twitter, she suggested "the real cancer" for the Republican Party was "weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully".
