Trump congratulates QAnon supporter Greene on Republican primary win

Election 2020 Georgia

Donald Trump has tweeted his backing for a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory who has been criticised for racist comments, after her victory in a Republican primary in Georgia.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a businesswoman and political newcomer, beat neurosurgeon John Cowan in a primary runoff in the staunchly Republican 14th Congressional District, which stretches from the outskirts of metropolitan Atlanta to the rural north-west corner of the state.
