QAnon House Candidate Files Complaint Against QAnon Arizona Senator For Allegedly Putting A Hit Out On Him

The Arizona Mirror reports:

Ron Watkins, the man purported to be an architect of the QAnon conspiracy theory, filed an ethics complaint against Republican state Sen. Wendy Rogers for a post she made about him on social media.

Watkins’ complaint stems from a February post by Rogers on Telegram, an encrypted messaging app favored by conservatives, in which she asked the “Groyper army” to “hit” Watkins.

The self-styled online “army” that Rogers sought to rally to her aid is a collection of white nationalists who favor online trolling tactics. Their goals broadly include normalizing their extreme and racist views by aligning them with Christianity and so-called “traditional” values.

An HBO series on QAnon that aired last summer strongly implied that Watkins is “Q” himself, which he has denied.

Rogers, as has been well-documented here, is an Oath Keeper, Christian nationalist, and anti-Semitic white supremacist who recently attended the neo-Nazi convention organized by Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.

Last summer Watkins and anti-LGBTQ extremist Ethan Schmidt jointly sued GOP Gov. Doug Ducey for supposedly failing to protect the border.

This weekend Schmidt, who claims to be “hunting” LGBTQ people, was arrested after menacing gun reform rally attendees with an assault weapon.

Watkins is the former administrator of 8chan, the notorious internet home to Nazis, white supremacists, and extremists of every kind.
