Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA 14th District) said during an interview on Sunday that she believed Joe Biden was ‘legitimately’ elected as president.
She also distanced herself from the online group QAnon for getting her “sucked into” their conspiracy theories.
Green made an appearance on the far left Fox News’ “MediaBuzz” on Sunday to talk about the recent election for the US House Speaker last week.
During the interview, host Howard Kurtz mentioned that Greene was removed from Committee Assignments in 2021 after her previous statements she made based on a “QAnon conspiracy theory.”
“Just to deal with one bit of history, the Democrats stripped you of your community assignments after you were elected. That was raw politics. But in fairness, didn’t you also say around that period that you had been a follower of QAnon conspiracy theories, and you had rethought this and you were no longer influenced by the group?” Kurtz asked.
“Like a lot of people today, I had easily gotten sucked into some things I had seen on the internet,” Greene responded.
“But that was dealt with quickly early on. I never campaigned on those things. That was not something I believed in. That’s not what I ran for Congress on. So those are so far in the past,” she continued.

Kurtz also asked Greene if she believed Joe Biden was legitimately elected as president.
“Do you believe that Joe Biden is the legitimately elected president?” Kurtz said.
“Of course, Joe Biden is the president. That’s always a silly question,” she said.
“I’m not trying to be silly. I was trying to just clarify,” he said.
