Liz Cheney slams QAnon as 'dangerous lunacy' after Trump embraces followers of conspiracy theory
Washington Times ^ | Aug 20 2020 | Andrew Blake

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney denounced the baseless, far-right QAnon conspiracy theory Thursday after President Trump embraced its proponents the day before.

“QAnon is dangerous lunacy that should have no place in American politics,” said Ms. Cheney, Wyoming Republican and third-ranking member of the GOP in the House of Representatives.

I don’t know what qanon is or what their conspiracy theory is. Same with 99 percent of Americans. So why does Cheney feel the need to tell us about something we’re ignorant of and that’s totally irrelevant to our lives or anything the Trump administration is doing?

Why is she implicitly slamming Trump in the middle of his re-election campaign?

Cheney’s are a strange family

Have any of them ever served in uniform?

Having more than a passing awareness and knowledge of Qanon, Cheny’s credibility takes a huge hit when she describes it as dangerous.

And as far as lunacy goes, it’s on par with the USPS conspiracy claims, UFO believers, etc.

How does she attach it to having a place in politics? It’s mosty an accusation that the CIA and foreign government ran an election operation against the United States, to get anybody but Trump, and once in, to get him out. Is that sort of action “poltical” in Cheney’s world?

What about identification of powerful people who engage in illegal perversion? Is that “political?”

How are ideas and theories dangerous? Are we, as sentient beings, not able to filter ideas for ourselves? Are we automotons just waiting for the code word signal? Cheney sounds like an opportunistic idiot.

“Why is she implicitly slamming Trump in the middle of his re-election campaign??

Hedging her bets six weeks earlier than 2016, or just a POS doing her best against America. Neither selection is good.

Wife says the White House through Kayleigh stated clearly they don’t support any such thing.

These people are evil.

Hmmm, the level of anger and attempts to discredit Qanon suggests the conspiracy holds some truth!

Esp about the Bushes, Cheneys and associates

I know very little about QAnon, other than a handful of cryptic quotes here on FR. I just took it all to mean “Drink your Ovaltine.”

Q anon is a LARP in cyberspace.

Meanwhile his father was in the party of the DC crony capitalists who cleaned up big time on the new global world order, invading Iraq, fighting terrorism in the US by building a wall around the NIH library of medicine in Bethesda Md and so forth.

“...I don’t know what qanon is or what their conspiracy theory is....”

Regardless of what it is....or isn’t. IF it upsets the GOPe-types, the RATs and Jeb!, it’s fine by me. Maybe they all got something to hide???

Has anybody explained how this woman became the third ranking member of the House when she has only been in office since January 3, 2017?

In Liz Cheney’s mind having heard of something is embracing it.

One thing about this election is that all the closet RATS are coming out.

They should come right out and tell their voters that they are Rats, and they were frauds in how they presented themselves to their voters.
