A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official told members of Congress on Wednesday that there is concern in the department regarding conspiracy theories that former President Trump will be reinstated in August, Politico reports.
Sources familiar with the exchange said top DHS counterterrorism official John Cohen shared these concerns while speaking in a members only briefing with the House Homeland Security Committee.
Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) reportedly asked Cohen how DHS is monitoring the spread of disinformation and conspiracy as well as how they fuel violence, specifically pointing to the Trump reinstatement conspiracy theory that has become popular among QAnon followers.
According to Politico's sources, Cohen said that DHS had not found anything linking violence to the conspiracy theory that Trump will be reinstated, though he did say the department was following online discussions in extremist communities.
Cohen said that DHS was highly concerned about the conspiracy theory, however, as it fuels the narrative that the election was rigged, which could in turn spark violence among extremists.
The Hill has reached out to DHS for comment.
A Hill-HarrisX poll released last week found that 30 percent of Republican voters believe Trump will be reinstated in August, though there is no legal or constitutional maneuver that could feasibly return the former U.S. president to office in the midst of President Biden's own term.
Trump himself has reportedly told acquaintances that he expects to be reinstated in August.
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said earlier in June that the large number of Republicans who believe this conspiracy theory is a “glaring warning on the persistent acceptance of the stolen election narrative."
“They believe him when he just abjectly lies. It is a glaring warning that the Big Lie has created fertile ground for all sorts of insane conspiracy," he said on the Senate floor, referring to Trump's belief that the election was stolen from him.
“Of course, the idea of 'reinstatement' comes from disgraced former President Trump himself and is nothing more than the deluded ramblings of a defeated politician,” Schumer added.
Show me documentation that Trump never said it.
Trump yanks democrats chain screaming chimp sounds ensue.
Lots of SCOTUS opinions rulings that Churches have very wide latitude in how they run their Churches.
The last thing the Democrats should want is for Churches to get real active in politics. Even now, that restriction is illegal and never effectively enforced.
Uh. Time for you to get a refund for the logic class you took.
Doodle, the above is an example of, well, logic... by some.
Dear DHS

In Q land I suppose.
According to Politico’s sources, Cohen said that DHS...\\
Ahhh
The telephone game !
He said she said they said
Really?
Oh and I just saw a clip of some officer
bent out of shape about military officers
and non com’s
being grilled on their Marxist CRT witch hunt
and purge of our armed
services,,
Well ,,,cry me a river ,
the whole nation saw the pic of that
Academy graduate
at his Academy graduation,,
with the Che t shirt under his
dress blues
and
’ I am a Communist’
written inside his dress blue cover ( cap)
The cats out of the bag and it’s your own fault
Your current attempt to purge the military is enlightening.
and your pitiful indignation is a transparent disgrace.
And if Patton was alive today
he’ bitch slap you back to bejing.
Waaa! Teacher she won’t stop saying Trump is going to be reinstated. Waaa!
LOL!
Thank goodness President Trump is not the tyrant that some FReepers want him to be.
Thank goodness most freepers think you’re a troll. 😆
Haha! The messages I get from FReepers that thank me for calling out disinformation from certain FReepers keep me going.
You go girl!
“ though he did say the department was following online discussions in extremist communities”
What makes something an “extremist community” ? (asking for a friend).
“ a “glaring warning on the persistent acceptance of the stolen election narrative.”
Oderint dum metuant (let them hate as long as they fear).
Deep state/obiden adm. are doing everything they can to stop or slow down the election steal investigation. They may slow it but eventually the truth will out and Trump will be back.As to “when” no one knows.
Answer the question TROLL.
Well...he won't be. Just like it wasn't true to say he still was President, Biden won't be sworn in, Biden isn't coming to Washington, Trump is in a bunker in Iceland, nowhere in the Constitution does it say a President's term ends on January 20th, that aliens provided a super computer to implement a quantum monetary system, and countless other nonsensical things "she" has said.
Yeah, a lot of zany stuff. Trolling and disinformation all in one package!
That is part of ROLCON...to put doubt in your mind.
Sad that you do not note this.
