QAnon CO Rep: The FBI Is Behind Trump’s Shooting

Denver’s NBC affiliate reports:

A Republican state legislator known for his outlandish and offensive statements is claiming that the FBI was behind the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. State Rep. Scott Bottoms (R-Colorado Springs) did not offer any evidence to support the claim, which he made last Sunday from the pulpit of his Church at Briargate, where he is the lead pastor.

Bottoms said the only reason the FBI plot didn’t kill Trump is because the former President is protected by God. Bottoms claimed, without evidence, that the November presidential election will not be held if Trump is not killed by then. “We’re not gonna have a presidential election,” Bottoms said. “If he’s still alive and he’s not in jail, we’re not gonna have an election.”
