Facebook removes QAnon-supporting candidates 'squad' post for inciting violence

Key context: Marjorie Taylor Greene, a House candidate who has history of racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic remarks and who has embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory, on Thursday posted a picture of herself holding a rifle next to images of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib three of four members of the so-called liberal freshmen squad.

In the accompanying post, Greene railed against leftists who want to take this country down, adding, American need strong conservative Christians to go on the offense against these socialists who want to rip our country apart.

But other high-ranking Republican officials have called Greenes racist rhetoric appalling and disgusting, as POLITICO reported.

Greene has voiced support for the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, which claims that Trump is working to defeat a cabal of Satanic pedophiles in the U.S.
