Struggling Hillsborough GOP turns to Marjorie Taylor Greene

[Zorro]

The Georgia Republican speaks tonight at the annual fundraiser for a local party beset by losses and dissent.

It was only six years ago that Hillsborough County Republicans scored Jeb Bush to headline their Lincoln Day fundraiser.

Republicans from across the region packed a glitzy ballroom to hear from the presidential hopeful. Tom Pepin, the local beer distributor, paid $10,000 to sit next to Bush, recalled Art Wood, the chairman of the dinner. To the crowd’s delight, Bush announced that his statewide campaign would be based in Tampa, a nod to the county’s longstanding influence.

“It was one of the best Lincoln Day Dinners ever in state history,” Wood said.

Tonight, during the latest Lincoln Day fundraiser in Hillsborough, local Republicans will welcome U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a brash newcomer from Georgia who lost her committee assignments in Congress after suggesting the Parkland high school shooting was staged.

2. Does she ever do anything for her constituents?

She travels around the country a lot.

3. Yes.

She runs around the country and spreads
the word of the crazy qanon theories that many of her constituents believe in. It appears that her area of Georgia loves her so I wish they would keep her away from us. It only shows how crazy the majority of the Republican party has become.

4. I wish that party would stop associating themselves with President Lincoln

He was a republican before the flip of the parties so in his era, a Republican had Democratic traits and vice versa. The former Dixiecrats or Southern Democrats were nothing more then the racist far-right Republicans of today.
