Marjorie Taylor Greene has been making sure she was seen a lot lately, warming up a crowd for her blustering, pathetic former president and sitting behind Republican House minority leader Kevin McCarthy as he spoke recently of his GOP midterm election strategy.

Then this paper, via The Associated Press, gave you this headline: “Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene rises from Republican fringe to front.”

Nah. Don’t bet on it. It’s just another ruse — by her and by other Republicans — to confuse voters about their previous long-standing posture as election deniers and about which party has momentum heading into the Nov. 8 midterm elections.

Consider the Rome, Georgia, Republican Rep. Greene’s recent “look-over-here” claim — made in the debate she lost terribly last week with Democratic challenger Marcus Flowers after he got her to acknowledge that Joe Biden “is president” and referenced her support for the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” debacle.
