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
Isnt there a special FR thread set aside for Q people?
Oh. So Demsheviks and the rotten Rs are just honest guys, doing their best as they see fit, not attempting behind the scenes to undermine Trump’s MAGA agenda. No embedded aholes in fedgov beaurocracy or any other crazy theories. No trying to cover up their years of corruption and theft from foreign aid, illegal back channel money, laundering for drug and human trafficking cartels and getting their cut or any of that utter nonsense. And their opposition to border control and wall is just out of a sincere but misguided humanitariansim etc.
We do the best we can with the information that surfaces. More is unknown than known when it comes to the anti-Trump jihaad. In the end logic and strong or weak arguments can only go so far and we rely on our gut reactions. I respect other points of views here on FR from 1999 on and agree with your reply as just as plausible than my model.
If there had not been a stained blue dress, The National Enquirer would have been laughed out of the echo chambers and Bill’s sick behavior would have been missed or forgotten.
You said: "...failed Q predictions"
And I said: If this is the case, it should be easy for you to list a few. Please proceed
And then I noticed that instead of answering the question, you deflected.
And, aren’t there Several special threads set aside for U people?
A simple statement derived from just a little research shouldn’t pose such a threat to someone.
IMHO Q is trying to normalize being a pedophile.
~~~~~
PUH-LEEEEEEZE!
that is the most bizarre statement on FR today!
Have you noticed the number (thousands) of pedos being arrested in the past three years? Have you noticed the Qers posting and applauding every arrest of the perverts?
You can ignore people who post Q stuff, you can ridicule them, but there’s absolutely NO evidence to support what you just said.
I also think you solicit money form freepers

Hey! you holding out on us, Bags??
Start the fire and then can't stand the heat?
Is there some reason you people can't discuss this topic in a mature and reasonable mannah?
You said it so well, it bears repeating (psst..AAG, be careful out on the porch, I hear these oldsters are hell in their rockers!)
“I will say that the dull and defeatist attitude here is what makes the cite look bad. Endless carping about how nothing ever changes, all the while overlooking many positive steps made.
Constant criticism of our President and how all the geniuses here could do it so much better. That makes the place unbearable and sounding like nut jobs.
Seems the oldies prefer to ride on coattails of long gone days and bring nothing fresh and new but damn, they can bitch up a storm.”
ThankQ, goodman.
Shaddup and gimme my money.
And don't forget the vig.
Look who's talkin'.

I think he has to support the dossier since his fingerprints are all over it. Maybe he is a RINO in waiting. I get that feeling about him.
Anyway, this article has a nice picture of Kinzinger standing next to Paul Ryan .... who had to step away from politics at the zenith of his career for the sake of his family. How humble of Ryan.
A simple statement derived from just a little research shouldnt pose such a threat to someone.
Am I the someone?
I honestly dont understand what you are saying to me.
The only kookaid is what you been drinking.
“The blind master was my favorite. But he died.”
ROFLMAO! Badazz Bagster! I’m not getting in the dojo with you. You’re fast as lightning.
