Birds, Feather, Flock or
Just “Following the Leader”
(Pence falls for QAnon’s
appeal)
Major Update (from Politico and CNN) (September 12): Pence camp cancels QAnon event discussed below - no reason given (LOL LOL LOL).
AP Exclusive story with this headline:
AP Exclusive story with this headline:
“Pence to attend event hosted by QAnon backers”
A few highlights from the
article:
Vice President Mike Pence and
top officials from President Donald J. Trump’s campaign are slated to attend a
Montana fundraiser next week hosted by a couple who have expressed support for
the QAnon conspiracy theory (this according to an event invitation obtained by
The Associated Press and a review of social media postings).
The hosts of the fundraiser,
Caryn and Michael Borland, have shared QAnon memes and retweeted posts from
QAnon accounts, their social media activity shows.
The baseless conspiracy
theory posits that Trump is fighting entrenched enemies in the government and
also involves Satanism and child sex trafficking.
Beyond Pence, the September
14 fundraiser in Bozeman, Montana, is expected to draw influential figures in
the president’s orbit including:
* Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top
Trump fundraising official who also is dating Donald Trump Jr.,
* GOP National Chairwoman,
Ronna McDaniel (Sen. Mitt Romney’s niece BTW),
* RNC National Finance
Chairman, Todd Ricketts,
* RNC National Co-chairman,
Tommy Hicks Jr.
FYI: While many Republicans
have dismissed QAnon, the fundraiser is another sign of how the conspiracy
theory is gaining a foothold in their party. Their silence confirms that fact.
Trump hailed
Georgia GOP congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon supporter,
as a “future Republican star.”
Trump has refused to condemn
QAnon, recently telling reporters that the conspiracy theory is “gaining in
popularity” and that its supporters “Like me very much.”
This full story
continues at the link – check it
out – a lot more details.
My 2 cents: Here
is my earlier post about QAnon …
That focuses on Trump and his new BFF with his view about them proving once again that Trump is a conspiracy nut and lifetime racist
– no exception – the evidence is overwhelming – it cannot be disputed.
Republicans who go along to get along are doing so since they do not
want to offend, embarrass, or piss-off Trump when he supports people like QAnon
and their candidates on the ballot for Congressional seats.
To do so is to
cross Trump with the end result is that they will suffer “The Wrath of Don.” (Huge smile).
Thanks for stopping by.
