Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., the far-right freshman notorious for her baseless and inflammatory conspiracy theories, should not be disqualified for re-election over her alleged role in inciting the Capitol riot, a state judge ruled on Friday.

Beaudrot ruled that the defendants "have produced insufficient evidence to show that Rep. Greene 'engaged' in that insurrection after she took the oath of office on January 3, 2021."
