AP: Pence to attend event hosted by QAnon backers
AP ^ | Sep 9th | BRIAN SLODYSKO and MICHAEL KUNZELMAN

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence and top officials from President Donald Trump’s campaign are slated to attend a Montana fundraiser next week hosted by a couple who have expressed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory, according to an event invitation obtained by The Associated Press and a review of social media postings.

The hosts of the fundraiser, Caryn and Michael Borland, have shared QAnon memes and retweeted posts from QAnon accounts, their social media activity shows. The baseless conspiracy theory posits that Trump is fighting entrenched enemies in the government and also involves satanism and child sex trafficking.

Beyond Pence, the Sept. 14 fundraiser in Bozeman, Montana, is expected to draw influential figures in the president’s orbit including Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top Trump fundraising official who is dating Donald Trump Jr., GOP chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Republican National Committee finance chairman Todd Ricketts and RNC co-chairman Tommy Hicks Jr., the event invitation shows.

While many Republicans have dismissed QAnon, the fundraiser is another sign of how the conspiracy theory is gaining a foothold in the party. Trump has hailed Georgia congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene, another QAnon supporter, as a “future Republican star.” The president has refused to condemn QAnon, recently telling reporters that the conspiracy theory is “gaining in popularity” and that its supporters “like me very much.”

Quite sad that AP reporters have nothing better to do than go through social media posts looking for this kind of thing.

Conspiracy or truth? Don’t know about the satanism but he sure is fighting deep state enemies and the DOJ sure seem to be arresting sexual predators and rescuing children from trafficking.

“QAnon” seems to be the 2020 election equivalent of the “alt-right” in 2016. Right on schedule, something from the fringe suddenly gets magnified by the media/left, etc. acting like it is some sort of worrisome “big deal”.

I think you’re right there. QAnon is harmless stuff not something nefarious or dangerous. These reporters need to get a life!

Has AP ever covered that white nationalist Richard Spencer is supporting Joe Biden? That is a DIRECT link as opposed to this collateral association.

AP being an ASSocPress.

Baseless? I guess spirit cooking is just totally normal and “cheese pizza” is just cheese pizza and cryptic language by complete weirdos has no meaning at all. Sure. Baseless. Uh huh.

MSNBC put this halfwit Karen on as a reformed Q member. Her hair was done perfectly and she spoke with big words. I told my wife, “She sounds like a Sopo.” A brief search revealed her ties to Southern Poverty Law Center. My wife was impressed that I nailed it that specifically.

The baseless conspiracy.....
Of course it is baseless, if your name is Rip Van Winkle and you have been in a coma for the past 4 years.

"Gee, Dad...QAnon sure sounds dangerous! I bet the guy in Portland who lied in wait and then assassinated a Trump supporter MUST have been QAnon!"

"You're probably right, Beaver...why else would the press keep warning us about them?"
