thedailycaller--2020-08-20--‘QAnon Is A Dangerous Lunacy,’ Liz Cheney Says

Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney ripped the fringe QAnon conspiracy theory Thursday , calling it a “ dangerous lunacy ” in a statement .
Cheney , the House Republican Conference Chairwoman , is the highest-ranking Republican lawmaker to condemn the theory , The Hill reported .
“ QAnon is a dangerous lunacy that should have no place in American politics , ” she said .
Her statement came a day after President Donald Trump refused to condemn the conspiracy , saying during a press briefing , “ I don ’ t know much about the movement other than I understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which I appreciate.
” “ I ’ ve heard these are people that love our country and they just don ’ t like seeing it .
I don ’ t know really anything about it other than they do supposedly like me .
And they would also like to see problems in these areas go away , ” Trump said .
The QAnon conspiracy centers around the theory that Trump is working behind the scenes against enemies including Democrats , the media the “ deep state ” and more , all of which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and are secretly plotting to undermine his administration .
Cheney ’ s comments are only her latest break with the president .
The representative questioned Trump ’ s decision to withdraw American troops from Germany last month , leading some of her Republican colleagues to publicly criticize her .
Cheney also called Edward Snowden a “ traitor ” after Trump floated the idea of pardoning him .
Cheney joins a growing list of GOP lawmakers who have denounced QAnon , including Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger and Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse .
Two Republicans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the fringe theory , recently won their congressional primaries .
Marjorie Taylor Greene , who has made remarks widely condemned as racist and has expressed doubt over whether a plane hit the Pentagon on 9/11 , supported the conspiracy until recently .
Greene is favored to be elected to Congress in November .
Laura Loomer , a self-described “ proud Islamaphobe , ” has also expressed support for the theory , though she is very unlikely to win her election in a solidly Democratic district .

Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney ripped the fringe QAnon conspiracy theory Thursday, calling it a “dangerous lunacy” in a statement.
Cheney, the House Republican Conference Chairwoman, is the highest-ranking Republican lawmaker to condemn the theory, The Hill reported.
“QAnon is a dangerous lunacy that should have no place in American politics,” she said.
Her statement came a day after President Donald Trump refused to condemn the conspiracy, saying during a press briefing, “I don’t know much about the movement other than I understand that they like me very much, which I appreciate.”
“I’ve heard these are people that love our country and they just don’t like seeing it. I don’t know really anything about it other than they do supposedly like me. And they would also like to see problems in these areas go away,” Trump said.
The QAnon conspiracy centers around the theory that Trump is working behind the scenes against enemies including Democrats, the media the “deep state” and more, all of which are controlling an international child trafficking ring and are secretly plotting to undermine his administration.
NEW: Rep @Liz_Cheney becomes the highest-ranking House Republican to denounce QAnon. “QAnon is dangerous lunacy that should have no place in American politics,” she said in a statement, after I asked for comment. Yesterday, Trump said he “appreciates” the support of QAnon ppl. — Melanie Zanona (@MZanona) August 20, 2020
Cheney’s comments are only her latest break with the president. The representative questioned Trump’s decision to withdraw American troops from Germany last month, leading some of her Republican colleagues to publicly criticize her. Cheney also called Edward Snowden a “traitor” after Trump floated the idea of pardoning him.
Cheney joins a growing list of GOP lawmakers who have denounced QAnon, including Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger and Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse.
Two Republicans, both of whom have expressed support for the fringe theory, recently won their congressional primaries. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has made remarks widely condemned as racist and has expressed doubt over whether a plane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, supported the conspiracy until recently. Greene is favored to be elected to Congress in November.
Laura Loomer, a self-described “proud Islamaphobe,” has also expressed support for the theory, though she is very unlikely to win her election in a solidly Democratic district.

Verdict: False
The images are from a rally in early March before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised the public to wear face coverings.
Fact Check:
The post circulating features three pictures of Biden on stage with other Democrats, including New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and California Sen. Kamala Harris, who was recently named Biden’s 2020 running mate. In the photos, none of them are wearing masks or practicing social distancing, nor does the crowd behind them appear to be doing so.

It’s obvious Democrats don’t practice what they’re feeding the rest of the American People.” (RELATED: Does This Photo Show Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer Violating Social Distancing Rules For A Beer Tasting?)
However, these pictures were not taken recently. Through a reverse image search, the Daily Caller News Foundation discovered they come from a March 9 rally in Detroit, Michigan, months before Biden announced Harris as his pick for vice president. Photos of the rally from Getty Images show the politicians wearing the same clothes as those in the collage of images being shared.

The rally occurred two days before the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a pandemic and four days before President Donald Trump declared it a national emergency.

LSU needs to protect Brennan at all costs .
The Tigers have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and he ’ ll be the man to lead the offense .
I ’ m not saying he should be assigned a security detail to keep people away from him , but I ’ m also not ruling it out .
There ’ s simply too much at risk to have your starting quarterback potentially exposed to coronavirus .
The Tigers just can ’ t let that happen .
Also , I don ’ t want to sound crude , but there ’ s never been a worse time in the history of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the SEC .
In a normal year , Brennan would be the biggest celebrity on campus .
He ’ d party hard and women would flock to him .
Not this year .
He will literally have to continue living in isolation .
It ’ s unfortunate , but rings last forever .
If LSU can make another run , then Brennan sacrificing his social life will 100 % be worth it .

LSU needs to protect Brennan at all costs. The Tigers have another great football team in 2020, and he’ll be the man to lead the offense.

There’s simply too much at risk to have your starting quarterback potentially exposed to coronavirus. The Tigers just can’t let that happen.
