Twelve Republican Congressional Candidates Say they Believe in QAnon Conspiracy

This Axios article says eleven Republican congressional candidates, plus one person who may become a Republican congressional nominee (depending on how the primary turns out), say they believe in QAnon. According to one of those candidates, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Q teaches that many elite figures in government worship Satan and encourage pedophile sex trafficking.

Of the twelve candidates, only two of them are from states that use closed primaries. Three are on the November ballot in California, which uses a top-two system. The others are in states with open primaries or semi-open primaries. Thanks to Political Wire for the link.

  1. Exactly, Richard. You wouldn’t post information about disaffiliating Constitution Party states, which certainly DOES affect ballot access for them, but you post this crap. What gives?

  2. Donkey and Elephant gerrymander HACKS control making of election laws —

    esp the NUTCASE QAnon types.

    RW critics can start their own websites and get flak / be ignored.

  3. I think Richard’s point may be that they are headed towards becoming a minor party. Am I right?

  4. Everything that relates to top-two relates to ballot access. The top-two system in California is an extreme form of ballot access repression. Members of minor parties in California are not allowed to cast votes for members of their own party for Congress or partisan state office, in the election itself, except in the few races in which one major party doesn’t run anyone. This article partly rebuts the idea that top-two produces more moderate finalists.

  5. Thanks Richard , I actually missed the Calif part of the article until I just reread it now. And for the rest of all your work. I can’t believe some people here’s complaints instead of being grateful for your long time ongoing free service you provide for them. Maybe they should try running a better blog if they think they can do better than you.

  6. If someone looked up “stupid bitch” in the dictionary they’d see Kathy’s photo.

  7. Well, she’s right about the first part. But most of them pose no credible risk of imminent harm to themselves or others, so involuntary confinement is unwarranted,
