Opinion: The fight over Marjorie Taylor Greene poses a threat to the entire country

CNN  

Editor’s Note: Frida Ghitis, a former CNN producer and correspondent, is a world affairs columnist. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she was “profoundly concerned” about Republican leaders’ “acceptance of extreme conspiracy theorists” and their “eagerness to reward a QAnon adherent, a 9/11 truther, a harasser of child survivors of school shootings.” By embracing Greene, Republicans are moving the Overton window, the range of views that are considered politically acceptable. “That is not the party of Lincoln,” he declared, “and it’s definitely not American.” King’s racist words prompted action two years ago, but this time around, Greene’s crackling explosion of prejudice and lies were not enough to produce any real action from Republican leaders in the House. McCarthy, through his spokesman, said he found Greene’s utterances, “appalling,” adding that he had “no tolerance for them.” Rep. Steve Scalise, the House Republicans’ number two, went even further, calling her statements “disgusting,” and added they “don’t reflect the values of equality and decency that make our country great.” But then Trump threw his arms around his fervent admirer, calling her “a real WINNER,” and a “future Republican star.” That was the end of the Republican cold shoulder. Join us on Twitter and Facebook The new domestic terrorist threat comes from the extremist fringes that espouse the same ideas that McCarthy seemed to welcome into the GOP’s “very big tent.” The poisonous ideology is now more acceptable because Republican leaders are making personal political calculations, while ignoring their responsibility to their country.
