Watch: House candidate holds AR-15, tells Antifa 'Stay the hell out of N.W. Georgia'

Georgia's 14th Congressional District is one of the most competitive races in the Peach State.
It's a safe Republican seat, mind you -- the 2017 Cook Partisan Voter Index listed it as an R+27 district -- but there's a crowded field to represent the GOP side in the race to replace retiring Rep. Tom Graves in the extreme northwest corner of the state, according to The Associated Press.
The lead fundraiser among the candidates as of mid-April, according to Georgia's Capitol Beat News Service, was businesswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. She'd raised $1.1 million, although $700,000 of that had come from a loan she'd floated to herself.
Those unfamiliar with Greene might think that means she's a safe, boring Republican, the kind who would attend at least three power breakfasts at K Street lobbying firms before 10 a.m. and makes vague noises about tax cuts and health care reform without actually doing anything about them.
Instead, they'll find she's the kind of candidate whose campaign homepage boasts a slew of endorsements from well-known conservative individuals and groups, including the National Rifle Association.
