Politico: Trump World Is Going All-In On #QAnon

Politico reports:

On July Fourth, before President Donald Trump spoke to the nation from the White House lawn, he spoke indirectly to another community on Twitter: QAnon. That afternoon, he retweeted 14 tweets from accounts supporting the QAnon conspiracy theory, a sprawling and ever-mutating belief that a mysterious government official who goes by “Q” is leaving online clues about a messianic Trump’s secret plan to dismantle a cadre of Washington elites engaged in everything from pedophilia to child sex trafficking.

Those around Trump have followed suit. Eric Trump, the president’s son, recently posted a giant “Q” on Instagram as well as the hashtag version of the community’s slogan: “Where we go one, we go all.” White House deputy communications director Dan Scavino sparked glee on Facebook when he posted a photo with Q symbology. Over on Parler, the niche Twitter alternative and MAGA hub, Rep. Devin Nunes directed people to The Dirty Truth, a video producer who has promoted QAnon-related conspiracies.

The article goes on to note that Rudy Giuliani has tweeted various QAnon hashtags and that Michael Flynn posted a video in which he leads a group of friends in taking the “QAnon oath.” Read the full article. Dozens of QAnon nutbags are running for Congress and so far two have won their GOP primaries.

“Supposedly, I’m already in Gitmo and my clone is speaking to you right now,” @TheRickWilson says to @tina_nguyen. https://t.co/2kKk2FcpaK
