Trump campaign spox rips GOP congressman over rejection of QAnon conspiracy
Source: The Hill
A campaign spokesperson for President Trump took aim at a GOP congressman on Wednesday after the lawmaker dismissed the QAnon conspiracy theory in a Twitter post.
Matt Wolking, deputy communications director for Trump's reelection campaign, called on Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) to publicly reject the credibility of the dossier authored by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, which allies of the president have argued was the basis for the Russia investigation lead by former special counsel Robert Mueller.

"When will @RepKinzinger condemn the Steele Dossier fabrications and conspiracy theories pushed by Democrats?" Wolking wrote, adding, "That actually WAS Russian propaganda."
His tweet came in response to a tweet earlier in the day from Kinzinger, who called the QAnon conspiracy a product of "Russian propaganda or a basement dweller" following the victory of Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon supporter, in the GOP primary runoff for Georgias 14th District on Tuesday night.

This is the tweet from Kinzinger that prompted that attack from Wolking:

Trump and his stooges apparently won't tolerate GOP lawmakers pointing out that a batshit crazy conspiracy theory is a fabrication, let alone that it might be Russian propaganda.

(2,331 posts)I expect more congress critters to be less afraid of his wrath.
A great deal of his caucus cannot stand him and only play along to avoid primary challengers.

He has said many things. He said that Tammy Duckworth lacked guts. Fuck him.

(65,337 posts)...from his Wikipedia page, he fabricated his experiences in the middle east when he first ran around here. Way exaggerated what he did and the dangers he faced.
Given Grundy, I don't think he's going to lose, though.
But, he has been clearly distancing himself from the frothers in his own party. I don't think it's concern over losing his seat. I think he senses the wind shifting and knows being a Jordan, Meadows or Gaetz is not a long tactic for relevance.
