Ratcliffe, Trump's DNI nominee, follows QAnon Twitter. That's disqualifying
NBC News ^

Image: Senate Intelligence Committee Holds Nomination Hearing For John L. Ratcliffe To Be Director Of National IntelligenceRep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, testifies before a Senate Intelligence Committee nomination hearing on Capitol Hill on May 5, 2020.Andrew Harnik / Pool via Getty Images May 5, 2020, 8:25 PM CDT By Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence and NBC News/MSNBC analyst Since U.S. intelligence agencies exist to seek actionable information that is as close to the truth as possible, it follows that the person who heads our intelligence community should be a scrupulously honest seeker of apolitical facts. Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next director of national intelligence, isn’t that guy. The Senate will take up Ratcliffe’s nomination this week, with him testifying before the intelligence committee on Tuesday.

While many questions about Ratcliffe’s credentials already exist — he was previously nominated only to withdraw over questions about his bio — of serious ongoing concern is his social media history. Recent reporting by Spencer Ackerman and Will Sommer at The Daily Beast ties Ratcliffe, at least tangentially, to dangerous conspiracy theories on Twitter.

MND.

Heck, even people who read Q messages and follow Q would be the first to say that it contains disinformation intended for the collective/deepstate and that you should certainly NOT be endorsing content without verifying it let alone accepting 100% of all statements.

What Q does, however,is funnel or focus attention on people like Comey (Corney) or Schiff (Shiff), The Mule, Wray, and other D/S actors.

This focus is probably the reason why Facebook is starting to delete Q related content.

A lot of people have goals. Ratcliffe’s actions are his own.

Duh. Intelligence position.

I'm guessing ALL intelligence personnel follow Qanon. They would suck at their job if they didn't.

Whadda the derps think, he's gonna become a stripper, get 18 knives, and go after Joe Biden?

If they push this one too hard, the Q conversation could be interesting. Our derp Senators better not fold for this one.

Some accounts get followed purely for entertainment purposes.

Interesting that the nominee for head of the Department of National Intelligence takes Q seriously and you idiots don't.

What does he know that you don't know?

No intelligent person takes it seriously

Except the nominee for the head of the Department of National Intelligence, apparently.

Puker, you are dumb.

If the former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence is digging through Radcliffe’s social media accounts looking for dirt...AND this is all he’s come up with...I’d say Radcliffe will get confirmed.

Let's see the derps try to make a big deal about this one all over the t.v.

Do they really want the Q conversation?

This was another derp mistake in a long line.

Oh, and anyone who follows “Q” is crazy.

It's your assertion that the nominee for head of the Department of National Intelligence is crazy, is it?

I assume yours will be a no vote, Senator Derp State?

The further men get from the Lord the more they need something in their lives to replace Him.

Oh cmon. Even Radcliffe would only say he pursues it. Neither he nor anyone else takes it seriously. Just cause someone skims the nonsense does not make a believer. Good try though.

With the things i’ve read and looked at, I wouldn’t be qualified for a doorman :)

The deep state would own me in 6 minutes if I won an office.

That’s what’s so scary

If he reads his horoscope in the paper, would that be disqualifying as well?

No one with a brain believes the failed QAnon scammers.

Fearbros don't get an opinion.

Grownumps are talking.

Hush.

Ratcliffe does not require the respect of dumb people.

Another dummy falling for deep state media manipulation.

Ratcliffe’s actions are his own.

And your mind is not your own.

You are a willing tool of the derps, easily controlled.

He can follow whoever he wants. Following someone on Twitter doesn't mean you agree with them on anything.
For example, millions of people may follow Robert Deniro because they like his movies, yet Deniro is as crazy as a coot when it comes to his politics.
Following someone could merely mean you can get notified of what they post.
