Candidates running for state legislatures in at least a dozen states have engaged in some way with the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory. Several of them are running in competitive districts, giving them a chance to win. By jjcooper skarnowski.

FILE - In this Aug. 2, 2018, file photo, a protesters holds a Q sign waits in line with others to enter a campaign rally with President Donald Trump in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Candidates engaging with the QAnon conspiracy theory are running for seats in state legislatures this year, breathing more oxygen into a once-obscure conspiracy movement that has grown in prominence since adherents won Republican congressional primaries this year.

While he does not describe himself as a QAnon adherent, he has liked and forwarded videos made by QAnon backers. Armstrong told The Associated Press that he finds core aspects of the conspiracy credible, but not all of it. While races for congressional seats often generate more publicity, state legislative positions serve as springboards to higher office, and their holders wield significant power to affect everyday life — determining state policies on education, policing, health care, criminal justice and other issues.As with many conspiracy theories, it’s not always clear how much of it the candidates believe.

“Have I looked at it? Yes. Do I believe all of it? No. I’m not really sure what to think about all that,” she said.

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski Not a conspiracy theory if it’s true

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski Baseless!

jjcooper skarnowski Not baselees, not a conspiracy, not a theory. Fear makes you do stupid things eh, Associated Pricks?

jjcooper skarnowski At least they don’t loot, destroy, burn businesses down & assault people like BLM does.

jjcooper skarnowski Think for yourself....

jjcooper skarnowski Qanons: Those who still have a functioning brain

jjcooper skarnowski Claiming something is baseless when evidence is already being brought to the forefront is not journalistic integrity. Why don’t you get some of your crack investigative reporte... er, never mind. You don’t have any competent reporters. All you have are hacks.

jjcooper skarnowski The media is big on fake conspiracy theories.

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski So are you saying international child sex trafficking is a baseless theory?

jjcooper skarnowski Not conspiracy: the CIA created the term 'conspiracy theory' to discredit people getting too close to the truth.

jjcooper skarnowski You know how to tell someone works for the devil? They hate on anyone or any group that stand for truth and unity. Jesus said you will know my people for they will speak of oneness.

DeHughy jjcooper skarnowski Hahaha, baseless..... Hahaha.

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski BASELESS conspiracy theory? So we know how 2 respond 2 folks who say not conspiracy theory: What is the theory? How’s this been proven baseless? If baseless why so many outlets feel need 2 constantly run stories of illegitimacy? Isn’t that a lot of effort & expense?

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski Baseless? About 200 kidnapped children have been rescued in America just this past week alone. Only Q is stopping child trafficking. That’s what Q is all about. Look into it people before you call it a conspiracy

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski Baseless you say ? 🤣

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski truth and justice coming for the Rothschilds. Biblical

jjcooper skarnowski Sweet!

jjcooper skarnowski So, if someone believes in a deep state, and that Trump is fighting a war against child sex trafficking, that's a bad thing? Article says it's hard to pin down QAnon, yet you're not bothered that Antifa 'is loosely organized?' What's your real issue?

jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski DavidAlanReiner 👍❤️🇺🇸

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski Baseless has a pretty big base

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski BillClintonIsAPedo so, what exactly do you disagree with?

jjcooper skarnowski You say baseless then us marshals find dozens of missing kids in different states. But we are all crazy conspiracy nuts for believing in stuff that turns out true every other day....

jjcooper skarnowski They always say baseless or debunked but I have not seen them actually debunk anything Q has posted.

jjcooper skarnowski Funny enough the Russiagate conspiracists are a lot more.

jjcooper skarnowski

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski Antifa is a fascist organization which is a front for and supported by Democrats. BLM is a Marxist organization which is a front for and supported by Democrats. Fascism and Marxism are both of the Left!

jjcooper skarnowski Your mom is baseless

jjcooper skarnowski Even more alarming is folks believe Trump is actually doing something to stop some of these baseless theories

jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski How are they a conspiracy theory? Isn't ALL of the main stream media conspiracy theorists? Didn't they push a Trump conspiracy theory for over two years that wasn't true? Why, YES...they did!!

'Baseless', you say!.. 😂

jjcooper skarnowski I’m surprised they will accept this anonymous source.

jjcooper skarnowski AP is a joke. Now writing opinion headlines...not factual headlines. Trumps inexcusable decision to not label BLM terrorists aside, AP thinks people actually listen to what they say..same as CNN, NYT, etc.

jjcooper skarnowski Baseless? Proves your ignorance

jjcooper skarnowski The media is so blowing the Q thing out of proportion. 99% of you don’t even know what Q stands for which is why your all judging what you do not know.

jjcooper skarnowski Make no mistake DT/GOP divisive agenda is destroying the soul of the nation & responsible for turning these boys into terrorist against the US & now selling weapons to US enemies & blaming BLM protesters!

jjcooper skarnowski It’s all connected. See my pinned tweet for more. I’m open to dialogue.

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski Q

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski QuestionTheNarrative

jjcooper skarnowski Just like the Antifa loving democrats

jjcooper skarnowski These guys look like babes in the woods compared to the state of Illinois own Michael Madigan who has brutalized the electoral process. The original trump

jjcooper skarnowski General Vallely says Q is a group of 800 Military Intelligence specialists who advise the president.

jjcooper skarnowski Funny. I don’t remember the AP headlines bemoaning liberal candidates who believed the baseless Russia conspiracy. Now that I think about it, AP pushed that baseless conspiracy too. Nevermind.

jjcooper skarnowski I can’t even! They BELIEVE Democrats are literally eating children? Wtf is wrong with these people?!!!

EAGER_LIQN jjcooper skarnowski It takes Conspiracy Theories to become Conspiracy Facts.

jjcooper skarnowski If it’s so “Baseless” then, why is this News? Sorry, the Media Activists ruined Journalism. You’re going to have to verify your claims. Get to it!!

EAGER_LIQN jjcooper skarnowski Less baseless than the story the Fake News and Dems have run with this weekend about Trump not loving our Troops. GFY

jjcooper skarnowski Lol ‘baseless’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 What are they afraid of then....

jjcooper skarnowski Funny how BLM and Antifia does not seem to be a concern.

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski Which side is more dangerous?

jjcooper skarnowski This s**t is madness beyond comprehension. If we had seen this in other countries, we'll be laughing but in America? Where we said we're the best? Unbelievable, embarrassing

jjcooper skarnowski Jesus said 'the truth shall set you free' speaking about bondage and slavery to sin and its power, which is at the heart of America's problems. I also believe you need to break from the political ties to bondage.

jjcooper skarnowski Must have conveniently forgot to say Republican.

jjcooper skarnowski How does that hurt anyone? Good for them. Honest hardworking Americans are fighting for this country. We are sick of these criminals destroying America.

jjcooper skarnowski I

jjcooper skarnowski Fake news

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski Good

jjcooper skarnowski If you aren't concerned by this latest group of insanity, you haven't been listening.

jjcooper skarnowski No ones buyin what you’re selling anymore

jjcooper skarnowski Q is bad to journalist because he wants you to open your mind and do some research to verify. The truth will set you free

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski That “QAnon is a baseless conspiracy theory” is a baseless conspiracy theory. This isn’t journalism. This is propaganda. NO ONE with any knowledge of Q would ever write something so profoundly ignorant as this. Q encourages thinking for yourself. You ought to try it sometime.

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski I see this clearly now. Every week is some new msm narrative to create division. Looks like it’s Qanon this week. Is this because Rona is pretty much over and BLM/Antifa are busy wreaking havoc and they just want new fresh division to create? MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople

jjcooper skarnowski QAnon is the path to total destruction. Insanity is not a religion.

jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski QAnon is a strange group but the AP blindly marches to the Antifa and BLM tune without a peep. Who finances BLM and Antifa? Who are their leaders and their backgrounds. What are their goals other than riot and mayhem? Where is the AP hard hitting piece on those issues?

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski panic

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski What are we being distracted from? Patent 2020060606. Also look up the digital currency bill and the Fed Wallet we will be pushed into. Agenda 21, The Great Reset, The 4th Industrial Revolution, the body sensor microchip FDA recently approved...so much not being discussed.

jjcooper skarnowski Translation: FakeNews worries that Q is real since quite a bit mentioned on Q drops are proving to be true

jjcooper skarnowski There have always been people that wear tin foil hats and there will always be. You can't argue reality against a belief.

jjcooper skarnowski Trump has already proved you don’t have to be smart to get elected.

jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski You know that group is not setting in fire cities and businesses. The media always point you to the wrong side so you can not see the truth.

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski Raging nutbags.

jjcooper skarnowski Yeah good luck with that How long has this been going on now? How many alternate platforms have spring up because lying fake news thought it could outsmart all of the people?

jjcooper skarnowski QAnon needs 2b in prison or an insane asylum. There at the stage of either shock treatments permanent internment or prison for life They disrupt a society with their excentric inventions & people with power use their theories 2 favor their criminal intentions America's trapped

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski 'Baseless conspiracy theories' like Trump disparaging veterans? Or Epstein & Maxwell with Bill Clinton on Lolita Express? How about peaceful protests where cities spontaneously combust? If anything, MSM is full of the biggest conspiracy theorists ever.

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski People who read Q don't burn, riot and kill. So what's the problem?

jjcooper skarnowski If you believe this kind of internet conspiracy garbage you have no business governing anything.

jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski Americans love everything except the truth...

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski But BLM and Antifa are absolutely mainstream with ! The Squad are centrist to . I don’t know anything about QAnon but I know has become a far left FakeNews organization.

elenochle jjcooper skarnowski Great News !!!!

jjcooper skarnowski If Trump wins re-election, the presence of these crazies is going to grow. A lot.

jjcooper skarnowski If you say that the QAnon “anonymous sources” are baseless, then so are The Atlantic’s “anonymous sources.” You can’t have both.

jjcooper skarnowski Oh man, further proof college does not give you intelligence.

jjcooper skarnowski Go away

jjcooper skarnowski

jjcooper skarnowski The dark creatures are out from under the rocks. They will cause trouble for years to come. Thank you fat Donny.

The post, which Congresswoman Omar called out as a “violent provocation” was removed by Facebook for violating their policies, although which policy it violated was not specified.
