In a newly uncovered 2018 FB post, Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed the conspiracy theories that 9/11 was an inside job and that the Sandy Hook shooting was staged. She also (again) endorsed the conspiracy theory that the Parkland shooting was staged. mediamatters.org/false-flag-con…

@mmfa

@mmfa reported earlier this week that in other FB posts, Greene agreed that the Parkland shooting was actually a false flag planned event and claimed to have been told that House Speaker Pelosi has been saying that "we need another school shooting." mediamatters.org/false-flag-con…

@GOPLeader

Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy previously and falsely defended (washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…) Greene over her support for QAnon. His Twitter (@GOPLeader) header image currently features him with the GOP House freshman class, with Greene just a few spots away from him.

@mmfa

For the record, Greene tweeted this. (She didn't point out any actual problems with @mmfa's reporting.)

Greene has pushed numerous other conspiracy theories and promoted bigotry. Read this guide from October for more: mediamatters.org/congress/guide…

From The Washington Post today: "Several advocacy groups, including March for Our Lives-Parkland, Moms Demand Action, and Everytown for Gun Safety, called for Greene (R-Ga.) to give up her seat in the House of Representatives." washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01…

The Arizona GOP and chair Kelli Ward are boosting the longshot House campaign of self-described QAnon follower Daniel Wood.

During a recent video, Ward told Wood that he is "a man after my own heart" and encouraged people to help elect him to Congress. mediamatters.org/qanon-conspira…

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) also recently endorsed Wood:

Additionally, Wood featured a photo of him and Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) on his Facebook page last month:

Nick Moutos, an assistant attorney general for Texas, has been using Twitter to:

1) push QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theories;
2) send violent threats; and
3) encourage people to shoot Black Lives Matter protesters.

(w/ research from @KailaPhilo) mediamatters.org/twitter/texas-…

Here are some of Moutos' tweets encouraging violence against Black Lives Matter:

Moutos -- again, he's a Texas assistant attorney general -- is also an anti-Muslim and anti-LGBTQ bigot who has tweeted that places are "overrun with Muslims" and said that people "should use" the ACLU for "target practice" because they support transgender rights.

HHS assistant secretary Michael Caputo previously "spread baseless conspiracy theories about the coronavirus, praised white supremacist Milo Yiannopoulos, and said Democrats are 'counting' on COVID-19 fatalities in order to win." (via @peltzmadeline) mediamatters.org/coronavirus-co…

An update:

Caputo states on his LinkedIn profile that he directs "public affairs for the largest US government cabinet agency at the center of an historic pandemic" and he drives "a force of nearly 700 communicators delivering national COVID response public health information."

In December 2018, Marjorie Taylor Greene shared an anti-Muslim video that portrays Jewish people as trying to destroy Europe through immigration.

Greene says that she's going to the White House tonight to watch Trump's acceptance speech. mediamatters.org/congress/marjo…

The video includes Holocaust denier Nick Griffin claiming there's an "unholy alliance of leftists, capitalists and Zionist supremacists have schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation with the deliberate aim of breeding us out of existence in our own homelands."

@PKleinfeld

Reporter Philip Kleinfeld (@PKleinfeld) wrote in Vice in 2015 that the video uses "a mishmash of comically fake and out-of-context footage, bad subtitling and Islamophobic propaganda" and pushes "an anti-Semitic message": vice.com/en_au/article/…

I reviewed GOP House candidate and scheduled convention speaker Burgess Owens' book Why I Stand and found numerous instances of plagiarism. At one point, Owens plagiarized a source for eight consecutive paragraphs. mediamatters.org/congress/burge…

The book, which was published in 2018, also devotes a chapter to smearing the late civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis. Here's one example (Owens did not plagiarize this paragraph):

He did, however, plagiarize this section on Rep. Lewis from a relatively obscure blog:
