A portion of the country might have looked at Representative Marjorie Taylor

Greene as a symbol of how caustic and bewildering national politics had become,

as she spread conspiracy theories and falsehoods and heckled former President

grappled Saturday with what might have driven Ms. Greene’s decision, many of

them were confident that it was not a lack of support from her district.
