Georgia GOP Chair Goes Full Flat-Earth, Says Globes Are Part of a Conspiracy

Kandiss Taylor, a recently elected GOP District Chair in Georgia, would
like to know why Big Globe won’t stop shoving round-Earth propaganda
down our throats.
In an interview with David Weiss (AKA “Flat Earth Dave”) and Matt Long
on her “Jesus, Guns, and Babies” podcast, Taylor and her guests
discussed biblical “evidence” that the Earth is actually flat as a
pancake. “The people that defend the globe don’t know anything about the
globe,” said Weiss. “If they knew a tenth of what Matt and I know about
the globe they would be Flat Earthers.”
“All the globes, everywhere” Taylor said later in the discussion. “I
turn on the TV, there’s globes in the background … Everywhere there’s
globes. You see them all the time, it’s constant. My children will be
like ‘Mama, globe, globe, globe, globe’ — they’re everywhere.”
“That’s what they do, to brainwash,” she added. “For me if it’s not a
conspiracy. If it is real, why are you pushing so hard everywhere I go?
Every store, you buy a globe, there’s globes everywhere. Every movie,
every TV show, news media — why? More and more I’m like, it doesn’t make
sense.”
Outside of promoting crackpot conspiracies about the Earth’s shape,
Taylor is a firm believer that the 2020 election was fraudulently stolen
from Donald Trump.
Taylor implemented the Trumpian playbook after her own failed 2022 bid
for Georgia’s governorship. Despite only winning 3.7 percent of the vote
in the Republican primary compared to Gov. Brian Kemp’s 73.7 percent,
Taylor refused to concede her election loss, claiming the race had been
“rigged.” No such claims were made after her successful run for GOP
Chair of Georgia’s 1st District in April.
