During her campaign for the primary, Marjorie Taylor Greene had claimed part of the pro-Trump QAnon movement which has been spreading since 2017 on social networks.

According to its followers, the United States has been ruled for decades by the "deep state", a secret organization bringing together senior government officials, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Rothschilds, the powerful investor George Soros, stars of Hollywood and other members of the world's elite.
