The Hill reports:
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has come under fire for a tweet seen as a nod to the QAnon movement. A former GOP congressman and an ex-aide to Pence who has become a vocal critic of former President Trump were among the voices arguing that McEnany was giving air to a dangerous conspiracy theory with her tweet.
McEnany in the tweet singled out a comment from President Biden about children. “Signing off with a final notable quote from Joe Biden during his town hall this evening,” McEnany tweeted late Tuesday night following Biden’s town hall on CNN. “‘Everyone knows I love kids better than people.'” McEnany added a “questioning” emoji to the end of her tweet.
From a former WH colleague of McEnany’s: “This is 100% meant to stir up the qanon crowd. Awful.” https://t.co/jTqIRwEyKn

This is pathetic even for @kayleighmcenany standards. It’s also dangerous given the conspiracy theories the #Trump movement has led, but you know that already Kayleigh & you don’t care. Remember this when the next Pizzagate type of attack happens-You’re enabling it. https://t.co/YxEWzdxYa8
