    An Atlanta-based home lender has accused Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is running in Tuesday's GOP runoff in the 14th Congressional District, of spreading misinformation about why Melissa Rolfe, whose son was involved in a police shooting that became a national touchstone, was fired. Equity Prime Mortgage said Rolfe’s termination had nothing to do with her stepson, Garrett Rolfe, a former Atlanta police officer who faces felony murder charges after the June 12 death of Rayshard Brooks. Instead, the company’s lawyer says, Melissa Rolfe was fired after employees complained that she had made sexist and racist comments during her short tenure.
