Q’s your daddy? Republican funders back conspiracy theorists running for Congress

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia businesswoman and mother of three, appears to be on her way to becoming the first elected member of the House of Representative who openly aligns with the online conspiracy theory known as QAnon  — and a political action committee with ties to President Trump’s allies in Congress is working to help get her there. Greene, a devout Trump acolyte who is seeking the Republican nomination for an open House seat in the Georgia’s deeply conservative 14th district, is among a growing field of 2020 congressional candidates who have expressed some degree of support for, or promotion of content related to QAnon, the pro-Trump fringe conspiracy theory whose network of adherents have been labeled by the FBI as “conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists,” who pose a potential domestic terrorist threat.
