A campaign spokesperson for President Trump took aim at a GOP congressman on Wednesday after the lawmaker dismissed the QAnon conspiracy theory in a Twitter post.
Matt Wolking, deputy communications director for Trump's reelection campaign, called on Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) to publicly reject the credibility of the dossier authored by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, which allies of the president have argued was the basis for the Russia investigation lead by former special counsel Robert Mueller.
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz told members of Congress that the opposition research compiled by Steele did not prompt the investigation into the Trump campaign and its ties to Russia.
"When will @RepKinzinger condemn the Steele Dossier fabrications and conspiracy theories pushed by Democrats?" Wolking wrote, adding, "That actually WAS Russian propaganda."
His tweet came in response to a tweet earlier in the day from Kinzinger, who called the QAnon conspiracy a product of "Russian propaganda or a basement dweller" following the victory of Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon supporter, in the GOP primary runoff for Georgias 14th District on Tuesday night.
The congressman was the first GOP lawmaker to criticize Greene's win, asserting there is "no place in Congress for these conspiracies."
Following Greene's win, Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday to voice his support for the GOP candidate, calling her a "future Republican star."
"Congratulations to future Republican Star Marjorie Taylor Greene on a big Congressional primary win in Georgia against a very tough and smart opponent," Trump tweeted. "Marjorie is strong on everything and never gives up - a real WINNER!"
Requests for further comment from Wolking and the Trump campaign were not immediately returned. Kinzinger's office also did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.
The QAnon conspiracy, which began shortly before the November election in 2016, claims without evidence that top Democratic officials, major celebrities and figures in the media are working together to bring down Trump and are tied to an international child sex trafficking ring. The theory is based on posts by a mysterious individual or group of individuals on an anonymous internet forum.
The posts have made numerous predictions that have not come to fruition, including claiming that Trump's 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton would be arrested as a result of the now-shuttered Russia investigation.
Greene is expected to win the general election in her red district in November. She won 60 percent of the vote in Tuesday's runoff election
If he was any good at critical thinking, he would know that Q is not 'wacky theories'. Either that or he hasn't looked at the 'theories' and applied his awesome critical thinking skills.
If he had, he would be convinced of the truth of them. So would you. Its unavoidable.
And this;
Adam Kinzinger was one of the first to endorse Jeb Bush for POTUS in 2016.
Now it becomes clear and explains Kinzinger's comments, attack on a "Q political candidate", and his failure to denounce the Russian dossier. Kinzinger is a derp, the mortal enemy of all things Q and Trump.
And why the Trump man went after him.

Yeah, well, the connection to Q is tangential.
Kinzinger called Q a Russian conspiracy, and (not responsive to that0 Wolking asked Kinzinger when he would call the Steele dossier a Russian conspiracy.
The exchange and argument revolves around the Steele dossier and what to make of it.
Author of the article, John Bowden, thinks his readers are morons.
Do you ever get tired of being too smart for the room, Cboldt?
It must be a burden.
Author of the article, John Bowden, thinks his readers are morons.
That's one of their fatal flaws. The derps think they got all the smart guys on their side.
And they talk to us like they talk to their sheepy base.
Thanks for the ping/link LucyT.
Q posters are GRRRREAT...informative...educational...historical...sarcastic...creative...humorous...
talented individuals...(even Bagster : )).

QWO?...(just thinkin’ again)
A Free Republic is a Fun Republic. Thanks JimRob.
“Yea, that sounds like something Chinese Intelligence would do.”
Yo Bags...your house looks like a pagoda. Say it ain’t so, Bags. : )
The blind master was my favorite. But he died.
Trying out a new handle, pierre deLecto?
********* I agree. I personally think Q is/are the pedophiles. I prayed for days to get one sentence out of my mind, that Q thought I should know, yeah. It was so bad I would not talk about it to my friends.
IMHO Q is trying to normalize being a pedophile.
I will be so happy the day Q is gone.
Never should they be on FR.
The fact he identified the wacky parts attributed to Q (pedivores, etc.) as ideal diversion and deception operation by Dem forces to condition internet sheep from believing the now. Obvious Deep State multilayer, well planned, surge to prevent the election if Trump but if he unthinkably wins remove him from office while denying him the ability to govern. (Insurance policy). The latter mostly worked but enough good guys are in the system to keep POTUS ahead of them.
I think Q give hints about this but extra garbage is/was constantly added by bad actors. No idea who but a lot of capable entities share the motive.
Recounts, Conscientious Electors, Mueller, North Korea, China, stock market panics, Ukraine, whistleblower fakepeachment, utter dishonesty in Covid-19 related government and medical system response, Democratic governor’s, BLM, Antifa,Cheat by Mail and other crises all working toward the same goal.
Don’t necessarily need a Q to comment on them but those were not conspiracy theories to use a CIA coined term. But a few well timed words of hope may have been provided by some of the good guys.
At least some kid at 4Chan hasn’t convinced the Q true believers to pee their pants - yet:

Gotta love it though - 2020 hasn’t brought much humor, so ya gotta enjoy the good pranks like “Q” while ya can. Like an ongoing Bart Simpson call to Moe’s Tavern.
Just because you can't conceive of a thing, doesn't make it wacky.
Some of the things that Q has pointed to are hard to stomach and seemingly inconceivable.
That doesn't make it not true. Especially when so much evidence points to the probability that it is.
Lets try to be intellectually honest, here.
I will concede that there are those who 'interpret' Q and get it way wrong. Those voices are usually shouted down by the 'hive mind' or ignored. But you're right that the derps take those whack interpretations and use them to dismiss the entire thing as whack.
And some of those 'interpreters' may indeed be agents for the other wide.
There may even be agents for the other side registered on Free Republic trying to discredit the Q movement.
I have seen some very bad thinking here, when it comes to Q.
It is, after all, very dangerous to the derp state.
Whoa.
That's probably the oddest thing I've seen yet from you people.
Is Trump trying to normalize pedophilia by shutting down pedo rings around the world in numbers never before seen?
That method was developed by the CIA during the JFK assassination
Typical Qist hyperbole.
Thinking everything is a CIA plot.
Straw-man arguments have been around since the dawn of man.
************yes
That's probably the oddest thing I've seen yet from you people.
*******who are “you people”
Is Trump trying to normalize pedophilia by shutting down pedo rings around the world in numbers never before seen?
******** Dont use My President as a pawn in your little gig here.....
I also think you solicit money form freepers
I take that as a compliment.
Thinking everything is a CIA plot.
Don't be naive.
Straw-man arguments have been around since the dawn of man.
They didn't have straw men at the dawn of man.

The Term Conspiracy Theory an Invention of the CIA
(excerpt)
Conspiracy theorys acutely negative connotations may be traced to liberal historian Richard Hofstadters well-known fusillades against the New Right. Yet it was the Central Intelligence Agency that likely played the greatest role in effectively weaponizing the term.
In the groundswell of public skepticism toward the Warren Commissions findings on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the CIA sent a detailed directive to all of its bureaus. Titled Countering Criticism of the Warren Commission Report, the dispatch played a definitive role in making the conspiracy theory term a weapon to be wielded against almost any individual or group calling the governments increasingly clandestine programs and activities into question.
Also, there is a link to the CIA memo in question.
Educate yourself before you pop off.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
I take that as a compliment.
It wasnt a compliment.
Crazy talk, and the exact opposite of the truth.
*******who are you people
You people who attack my President's alt comm operation.
Me: Is Trump trying to normalize pedophilia by shutting down pedo rings around the world in numbers never before seen?
You:******** Dont use My President as a pawn in your little gig here.....
Just trying to follow your logic trail. If Q, whose major portion of his message is to expose and bring down pedo rings, is trying to 'normalize pedophelia', doesn't it follow that Trump, who is actively directing the real time exposure and takedown (Epstein/NXIVM and more) of pedo rings, is trying to 'normalize pedophilia?
You don't make any logical sense.
I also think you solicit money form freepers
You'll just tell any old lie, won't you.
And you people call us kooks.
If this is the case, it should be easy for you to list a few.
