McConnell Calls Marjorie Taylor Greene a ‘Cancer’

February 1, 2021 · 7:22 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) blasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) embrace of “loony lies and conspiracy theories” as a “cancer for the Republican Party,” The Hill reports.

Said McConnell: “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 Jr.’s airplane is not living in reality.”

He added: “This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen our party.”
