Perry took campaign donation from Georgia Republican who backed QAnon, made Islamophobic remarks

In his second straight tight race for reelection, U.S. Rep. Scott Perry took $1,000 from a fellow Republican congressional candidate who, before her run for elected office, pushed QAnon conspiracy theories and made racist comments about Muslims.

On Oct. 28, Perry’s campaign accepted the donation from Save America, Stop Socialism, a political action committee associated with Marjorie Taylor Greene, according to federal campaign finance records.

Greene, running for Congress in northern Georgia, said in old Facebook videos that “anyone that is a Muslim that believes in Sharia law does not belong in our government,” according to Politico.

Greene has also subscribed to QAnon, a fake conspiracy theory that believes that a secret group of global leaders, entertainment figures, and Democratic politicians engage in widespread child sex trafficking and worship Satan.
