| Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene edges out five competitors in GOP primary |
| 2022-05-25 |
| [Washington Examiner] Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday edged out five GOP challengers in a primary election that tested the Republican firebrand and former President Donald Trump's influence in Georgia. Greene beat out her closest challenger, Jennifer Strahan, in the crowded primary contest for Georgia's 14th Congressional District, several television networks projected. The other Republicans in the race were Erin Cunningham, Charles Lutin, James Haygood, and Seth Synstelien. Greene spent the weekend leading up to Tuesday's primary slamming President Joe Biden. During a "Bikers for Trump" event for former Sen. David Perdue, Greene was brought onstage to chants of "Let's go Brandon!" — a shorthand insult to the president. She said she felt "great" about her chances Tuesday despite a growing anti-Greene sentiment in her district. |

| #11 Unless I'm woefully mistaken, I didn't think the Washington Examiner was that bad. I'll always remember when Ron Paul was running for president, and some slimy media outfit was using a horizontal bar-graph to show the percentages, and they intentionally shortened Paul's bar to make it look like he wasn't competitive and not correspond with his actual percentage. |

| #10 "Edges Out" - once you start to notice how they try to shape your perception of the news, you see it everywhere. Last I looked, the score was MTG 71% vs Everyone Else Together 29%. What a squeaker, eh? But if all you saw was the headline... |

| #4 If she had lost by a recount margin, the media would be in paroxysms of joy this morning. I still have not seen the actual numbers, and not for lack of trying. |

| #2 Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be the Republican nominee for the Arkansas gubernatorial race. Not even close. Looking forward to August 16, 2022 and the Wyoming primary. |

| #1 "Edges"? Another report last night said she got over 40% of the ballots with 2nd hovering around 15%. The remainder were split among Unity party members running as Republicans. |
