For some, the idea of conspiracy theories is something a bit light and whimsical. You think of a kooky friend who’s always trying to tell you that we never landed on the moon, or Hank Hill’s paranoid neighbor Dale Gribble, for King of The Hill.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., from her committee assignments after Republican leadership failed to punish the freshman congresswoman’s embrace of bizarre conspiracy theories and endorsement of violence against Democrats.
