House votes to condemn baseless QAnon conspiracy theory
Washington Post ^

Posted on 10/02/2020 1:12:38 PM PDT by MNDude

The House voted overwhelmingly Friday to condemn the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory as the online movement identified as a potential domestic terrorist threat by the FBI has gained traction with some in the Republican Party.

The vote was 371 to 18 for the resolution sponsored by Reps. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.) and Denver Riggleman (R-Va.) and came days after Malinowski said he received death threats from QAnon supporters after a false GOP ad accused him of lobbying “to protect sexual predators.”

Seventeen Republicans and one independent voted against the resoultion condemning QAnon, a pro-Trump conspiracy theory that has been a central vector of misinformation about the coronavirus, on the same day the president said he and his wife had tested positive for the virus.

So, we have 371 reps that don't believe in free speech (including a wide majority of R's). Why are they wasting their time with this? One thing is for sure, the Democrats are still leading most of the Republicans around by the nose.

Well, they've got to do something between impeachments.

“identified as a potential domestic terrorist threat by the FBI”

Silly FBI. More like a “4Chan major pranking threat”, with the kids there getting their LULZ.

If it’s baseless why would they need to condemn it?

So what Tom Malinowski is saying is that he lobbies “to protect sexual predators”, like any good DemonRat scum party member does, in between child sex trafficking...

Heh, if the dems are against it, they must really be scared. And it’s hitting way too close to home.

I’m not a Q follower. I can’t make heads or tails of his posts or tweets so I just generally ignore them.

However, the reaction of the left is VERY telling and exactly what good does it do to *officially condemn* it?

He still has the First Amendment right to freedom of speech and if people are fascinated by it or want to waste their time following him, have at it.

Looks to me like and attempt to sniff out Q. Those who vote no or abstain are Q candidates.

Here is an example of the typical type of post Q makes:

Worth remembering.
Q”

Antifa burns America, and neither side has condemned it.

Where’s the resolution to condemn domestic terrorism by Antifa and Black Lies Matter? I haven’t heard of any of the QAnon people burning down cities or murdering anyone.

I could make a list of fifteen things they SHOULD be doing, but it would fall on deaf ears. Grrrrrrr!

Agree.

They ALWAYS show/tell us what THEY fear.

Why do these people care so much about QAnon? The more they try to condemn it, the more they just bring it’s existence to the public.

It’s just a fringe conspiracy theory (that I check on daily,) and most people I know don’t even know what Q or QAnon is.
