GOP Scrambles To Block Ohio QAnon House Candidate

Politico reports:

House Republicans are scrambling to fix a potential nightmare that’s unfolding in a must-win race in northwestern Ohio. The GOP is eager to block J.R.

But last week, an audio tape surfaced of Riedel calling Donald Trump “arrogant” and vowing not to endorse the former president. Now the primary looks poised to become a referendum on which is worse in today’s GOP: criticizing Trump or allegedly lying about one’s military valor.
