Multiple people who have expressed some level of support for the QAnon conspiracy theory, which got its start on far-right message boards, are running for Congress in 2022.

The QAnon conspiracy theory, which revolves around an anonymous account known as “Q,” started on far-right message board site 4chan, later moving to fellow far-right message board site 8chan, which has since relaunched as 8kun. (Beyond the QAnon conspiracy theory, 8chan/8kun has been linked to multiple instances of white supremacist terrorism, including the 2019 massacre in El Paso, Texas.) Some supporters of QAnon have been tied to violent incidents and participated in the January 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol, and multiple government agencies have issued internal warnings of domestic terrorism regarding supporters of the conspiracy theory.

Among these 19 candidates who have previously endorsed or given credence at some level to the conspiracy theory or promoted QAnon content:

Five are from Florida, two each are from Arizona, Nevada, and Ohio, and there is one each from California, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Colorado.

Eighteen are Republicans. One is an independent.

Fifteen previously ran for Congress in 2020. Two previously ran for a state legislative seat in 2020.

Two, from Colorado and Georgia, are incumbents in Congress. One, from Florida, is an incumbent state legislator.

4. It's really most of them.

If they believe the big lie and voted against the 1/6 commission, they are Q.

They aren't Republicans they are the GQP.
