Top Trump Campaign Staffer Slams GOP Congressman For Calling QAnon A ‘Fabrication’

“Qanon is a fabrication,” Kinzinger said of the baseless conspiracy theory, which posits that President Trump is working to defeat a network of liberal politicians, bureaucrats and celebrities operating a sex trafficking ring.

He continued, “This ‘insider’ has predicted so much incorrectly (but people don’t remember PAST predictions) so now has switched to vague generalities.  Could be Russian propaganda or a basement dweller.  Regardless, no place in Congress for these conspiracies.”

Wolking shot back at Kinzinger several hours later, tweeting, “When will @RepKinzinger condemn the Steele Dossier fabrications and conspiracy theories pushed by Democrats? That actually WAS Russian propaganda.”

The exchange comes a day after Marjorie Taylor Greene – a vocal QAnon believer condemned by GOP leaders for Facebook videos disparaging Muslims, repeating anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and comparing Black Lives Matter to neo-nazis – won the GOP primary runoff in Georgia’s 14th Congressional district.

Shortly after winning her primary, Greene was welcomed by party leaders, with Trump calling her a “future Republican Star” and  House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) saying in a statement “we look forward” to Greene joining Congress – a likely scenario given that her district gave for Trump more than 75% of the vote in 2016.

Greene is one of more than a dozen QAnon-friendly candidates running for office this year, including Jo Rae Perkins, who won a GOP Senate primary in Oregon, and Lauren Boebert, who unseated Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Colo.) in Colorado’s 3rd district in June.
