Description

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has made a name — and recently, fundraised
over $3 million — on becoming a political celebrity by oiling gears in
the "outrage machine," promoting extremist beliefs and false conspiracy
theories and bypassing establishment media and establishment Washington.
In Congress, she may not have committee assignments, but she's got an
increasingly valuable email list and a growing war chest. What her rise
reveals about the power (or lack thereof) of the party’s traditional
gatekeepers and the increasing nationalization of local races, featuring
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill), Playbook's Ryan Lizza, and POLITICO's
Melanie Zanona, Michael Kruse, and Charlie Mahtesian.

Ryan Lizza is a co-author of POLITICO Playbook.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger is a Republican congressman from Illinois.
Melanie Zanona is congressional reporter at POLITICO.
Michael Kruse is a senior staff writer at POLITICO magazine. 
Charlie Mahtesian is senior politics editor at POLITICO.
Adrienne Hurst is a producer for POLITICO audio.
Annie Rees is a producer for POLITICO audio.
Jenny Ament is senior producer for POLITICO audio.
Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO audio.
