President Donald Trump on Friday night praised a Georgia congressional candidate who has embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory, a day after he refused to disavow it.

At a Friday night rally in Macon, the president said the candidate, Marjorie Taylor Greene, is “somebody that I just think is fantastic” who is “doing great” in her campaign for a House seat.
