Candidate’s gun giveaway linked to ‘Biden/ANTIFA riots’

A controversial Georgia House candidate is stirring it up again with a gun giveaway targeting those who can’t find ammunition due to concerns over “the Biden/ANTIFA riots.”

North Georgia House candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene is raffling off a custom made AR-15 rifle chambered in the ultra-accurate 6.5 Grendel and equipped with several bells and whistles.

“Guns & ammo are selling out EVERYWHERE because of the Biden/ANTIFA riots,” she tweeted, adding, “I’m giving away this beautiful gun I used in my campaign ad to one of my followers.”

Greene is likely to win her race because the 14th Congressional District in Georgia is overwhelmingly Republican. She has been endorsed by President Trump and attended his Republican National Convention acceptance speech last week at the White House.

Her campaign has used fighting socialism as its theme, but much of the national media has focused on her engagement with a QAnon webpage. She recently told Secrets that she was “curious” about the conspiracy theory but rejected it.

A gun collector and shooter, Taylor has made the Second Amendment a large part of her campaign.

In offering the rifle in a raffle, she told Secrets, “We did this not only as a way to raise money for my campaign, but also to trigger the angry gun-grabbing socialist-left that hates America and wants to defund the police.”
