RNC cancels speaker Mary Ann Mendoza after she promoted QAnon, anti-Semitic conspiracies

An activist who was scheduled to speak at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night was abruptly yanked off the program after it was reported that she had shared an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory on social media hours ahead of her scheduled appearance. "Do yourself a favor and read this thread," the woman, Mary Ann Mendoza, wrote on Twitter, linking to a string of tweets about a bogus 100-year-old Jewish plot to run the world that managed to add some QAnon conspiracies and touched on everything from the Titanic to Hillary Clinton. Mendoza apologized about an hour before the RNC programming was set to begin, saying: "I retweeted a very long thread earlier without reading every post within the thread. My apologies for not paying attention to the intent of the whole message. That does not reflect my feelings or personal thoughts whatsoever."

The GOP canceled a “grass roots” speaker when it was discovered that she may have supported anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. The Democrats did not cancel a “grass roots “ speaker who spent 20 plus years in prison for torturing a man to death. These actions by the two parties speak volumes.

My theory...

This woman was tricked into “Liking” the flagrantly anti-Semitic post.

The first half of that post was pure Jew Hatred, followed by a completely acceptable section on the Deep State, and then closing with more Jew Hatred.

Did a Political Left activist send out pro-Trump excerpts from the Deep State section to a Twitter list of passionate Trump supporters?

Did this woman “Like” the Deep State excerpts, but she never even clicked on the mostly anti-Semitic link?

No - not three years old.

Did she (and thousands of other Trump supporters) get a Tweet with excerpts from the pro-Trump Deep State section of that anti-Semitic post?

Did she push “Like” when she read the pro-Trump excerpts?

Trump's daughter and her husband and her in-laws are Jewish.

Does this woman actually think that most Trump supporters are anti-Israel and anti-Jew?

If she does believe that, then maybe she is three years old.

The “media” carefully scrutinizes RNC convention speakers in an attempt to find a “Gotcha!” moment. Did they do the same with DNC speakers? Of course not.

The Dems embrace anti-Semitic leaders. Linda Sarsour? Obama and his buddy Farrakhan, the picture that was hidden by the media until after the 2008 election? The list goes on and on.

Here’s the paragraph I was looking for:

“The Democrats don’t drop anti-Semites. Instead, they have them speak at their convention, as they did with open anti-Semite Linda Sarsour. Biden disavowed her, only to have his campaign apologize for that disavowal. Nor have the Democrats disavowed Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, the Black Lives Matter movement, Al Sharpton, or any of the other anti-Semites at the heart of the party. (Recall that, when the Democrats were forced to address Omar’s anti-Semitism, the best they could do was come up with an insipid statement condemning all sorts of bad thoughts.)”

From here:
