The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday voted to condemn the online pro-Trump conspiracy theory known as “QAnon,” but 17 Republicans opposed the non-binding resolution, whose sponsor Democrat Representative Tom Malinowski said he has received death threats.

The House voted 371-18 to reject the conspiracy theory, which posits President Donald Trump has been working to take down a global child sex ring. As many as a dozen Republican candidates for Congress have voiced some support for the theory, and at least one of them appears to be a on a path to victory.

“But the death threats Tom Malinowski received were at surprise and a shock,” Riggleman said. “This type of behavior is easily condemned.” Writing on Twitter, Amash said the resolution threatened protected speech - and may make things worse. “These are conspiracy theorists who believe in a deep state that’s fighting against them,” he wrote.

What is the 17th letter in the alphabet?

This resolution sounds both evil and unconstitutional. And bad politics - pass a bill to help people and don’t hold the country hostage for NY IL CA bailouts.

So why was Q on the ballot and not Antifa?

what are the charges against QAnon?

This is what they waste their time on?

What a flipping waste of time. We've got cities being burned and a president with COVID but hey, let's waste time talking about something that influences almost no one and isn't the least bit violent. What a bunch of hacks.

Guess they know their supporters

Only 17. Thought the entire GOP contingent would vote NO

Names?

anyone know who the 17 are?

And Justin Amash. He really should run as a Libertarian 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is that a vulture flying to the,left of the building?

Q = 17. Just sayin’.

Names?

WAnon bs has been around for years now and they just now condemn it?!! Way too late

I hope they condemn CCP as well, for this weapon they unleashed on earth!

Why would the Republicans go along with a non-issue that the Democrats are trying to blow out of proportion

Did it pass?

17 huh? Lol. That must have been planned.

who cares if Qanon is a pedophile, he still speaks the truth.

I like when idiots and racists self-identify

17 weirdos.

YES! We must hold true to the vast, integral, living meanings of the United States Constitution. The integrity of this 2020 National Election must be held accounted for to that degree! Republicans have acted so very anti-US Constitution in their actions. That view cannot stand!
