Erase that nutty Q past, quick!
NEW from me: Newly-elected GOP Rep. @MayraFlores2022 deleted a bunch of old posts repeatedly spreading conspiracies the Capitol Riot was caused by Antifa and sharing Qanon hashtags in posts she removed before running for Congress from last year. https://t.co/klsSMz0m0f

I don't think it's that complicated. She used QAnon hashtags in order to pander to a demographic that might support her and to increase engagement on her posts. Now that QAnon is a liability, she disowns it.
She's just a cynical politician who does whatever works at the moment. https://t.co/ExEr4FHhfj

As the person who originally reported on Mayra Flores' QAnon posts, including in a Facebook ad, I can say that Flores' claim that her posts mentioning QAnon were "against it" is not true. Her posts did not criticize QAnon. https://t.co/jAPGyG4Iq7 pic.twitter.com/6zgD1Zycfa

oh man. The acting DOD secretary actually called the attache in Italy to investigate the claim that Italian satelites were switching votes from Trump to Biden.

The funniest part is that after all that effort Trump didn't give a pardon to anyone involved. Many of the rioters were willing to die for Trump but he wasn't willing to sign a piece of paper for them.
