Rep. Kinzinger: ‘It’s time’ for leaders to disavow QAnon
Politico ^

Posted on 08/17/2020 7:55:24 AM PDT by MNDude

Rep. Adam Kinzinger on Sunday emphasized the importance of President Donald Trump and other leaders calling out QAnon — a set of far-right conspiracy theories that allege the existence of a “deep state” against Trump.

The Illinois Republican, who posted a video on YouTube explaining QAnon on Sunday morning, said it’s time for other lawmakers to definitively and emphatically denounce the theories.

While QAnon theories have circulated in recent years, they have received more attention since Marjorie Taylor Greene’s primary runoff win in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District on Tuesday.

Greene has vocally supported QAnon theories, and Trump endorsed her candidacy. The president went so far as to call her a “future Republican star” after her primary win. She is heavily favored to win in November.

Speaking on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” Kinzinger said he supported Greene’s primary challenger, neurosurgeon John Cowan, in the runoff.

“I think up to maybe about a week ago there wasn’t a reason to denounce it because it didn’t need the attention, but now that it's made mainstream — we have a candidate that embraces it that won a primary,” he said.

In a briefing last week, Trump sidestepped a question about Greene’s support for QAnon. Kinzinger said it’s time for the president and leading lawmakers to disavow it.

“The president hasn’t fully denounced it or denounced it at all,” he said. “Now it's time for leaders to come out and denounce it.”

I love how these people can't help expose themself as a little uniparty shill of a beeyatch. Its' like some sort of compulsive flasher behavior.

With Biden at supposed double digit lead in the polls the uniparty types are acting very worried it seems.

I don't know how they did it but the hate America party, the Democrats, nominated a worse candidate than HRC.

He isn't going to campaign in person? Rather run a Warren Hardening front porch style campaign against president Trump.

I guess Harden was running after the spanish flu maybe that is one of those forgotten underlying causes in history that helped Harden win - I have no clue but I don't see that happening in this day of age.

Can't you just feel the excitement for Biden - yeah me neither.

The uniparty can't take another 4 years of what has become a quite invasive exercise in proctology on their end, we all know who is found the deeper they get up the deep states back side.

Q-Anon is like a squirrel burying acorns in a flower pot - annoying, but tolerable and manageable.

Trump gets a historic overseas agreement, so the media accuses him of stealing mailboxes. That kind of thinking is fine.

Twiiter bans Q accounts. The media writes a bunch of anti-Q stories, and now the traitor Republicans demand action against them.

There was no social media in the day, but this is how they treated Joe McCarthy, Cleon Skousen and others. They were proven right. “None Dare Call It Treason.”

Why didn’t democrats disavow the ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ conspiracy crap they hyped the last three years?

Most of Washington knew that conspiracy story was a lie.

Even Joe and Mika and their Sycophants knew it was conspiracy crap - but they kept pushing it...

Let’s ask the thugs in the liberal press why they didn’t ‘disavow’ it... and while we’re at it why aren’t democrats condemning the violence done by violent Joe Biden supporters in our cities?

Wait a sec! I thought that the only Republican in Illinois was Lincoln? A republican in Illinois is as effective as a tampon is to an 80 year old man!

Did we broadcast our plans to the Nazis and Japanese? Deception is required.
