Making the GOP brand toxic for a generation
Independent, 1/12/2021
Ms Boebert has been called the "QAnon Congresswoman" for saying she hopes the baseless conspiracy theory - alleging a demonic global paedophile ring that includes the majority of US Democratic politicians and features secret executions, clones and a mass, apocalyptic reckoning called "The Storm" - is "real."
Boebert defeated 5-term incumbent Scott Tipton in the 2002 GOP primary for Colorado's 3rd congressional district. Since 1992, the sprawling district has been held by a Republican for all but 4 years.

In a conservative, solidly Republican district, Miller defeated Kevin Van Ausdal, her Democratic opponent, by nearly 50 percentage points. Van Ausdal withdrew as a result of the extreme abuse heaped upon him Greene's frothing supporters.
Most of Georgia's counties are currently considered extresme hot spot, with the northwestern counties in Greene's district among the state's hottest.

An angry Moulton snapped pictures of the congressional quislings, precipitating a clash with Republican Mary Miller, the first-term representative from Illinois who had quoted Hitler approvingly at a “Save the Republic” rally the day before.
“She came up and started screaming at me, inches from my face, spittle coming out of her mouth,” Moulton recalled. She said that she didn’t need to wear a mask, that COVID only kills 1 percent anyway, and that she wasn’t contagious, according to Moulton (Miller’s spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment).
Miller's House district includes numerous counties that are coronavirus hot spots.
