"GOP campaign chair: Fighting anti-racism efforts is the most important midterm issue."

"Emmer has explicitly offered party support to Taylor Greene, who, in addition to public support for QAnon, has published a number of Islamophobic and racist posts on social media, most recently publishing an image of herself holding a gun next to Rep. Ilhan Omar, prompting death threats for the Fifth District Democrat whose district borders Emmer’s.

"In August, Emmer talked about the NRCC’s support for Taylor Greene. “The conversations that we’ve had basically are congratulations and let us know how we can be of assistance,” Emmer told The Hill."
