It is hardly accidental that a growing number of Republican senators are sticking their nose into House business and waging a coordinated campaign to ostracize conspiracy-fanning Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene with scathing public statements denouncing the freshman Georgia congresswoman.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has warned Republican colleagues in private conference meetings the GOP faces a new “John Birch Society” problem that must be aggressively purged. The Kentuckian is encouraging them to join the fight, to ensure the party is positioned to win back the Senate in 2022 and preserve its viability beyond, by making abundantly clear that Greene and her promotion of QAnon and other outlandish conspiracies are persona non grata.
