McCarthy Denounces QAnon: There Is ‘No Place’ For Conspiracy Theory In GOP

Shh, Kevin. We don’t talk about QAnon, that’s how we know we’re a family.

Besides, it’s more than a little late at this point.

Really? How come there’s a lot of quislings, quacks and quisquilians in your party?

“Let me be very clear: There is no place for QAnon in the Republican Party."

Poor Kevin.

The GOP is QAnon.

He’s about to find out there’s no place for him in the Republican Party…

McCarthy went on to comment that there was no place in the party for racism, sexism, voter suppression, crime, or Vladimir Putin.

“There is no place for Q-Anon in the Republican Party. With the sole exception of the White House. Well, and Congress. And we’ll have to see about statehouses and legislatures. Fund-raising, yeah, Q-Anon is there. But other than that, absolutely no place in the Republican party for Q-Anon!”

Translation:
McCarthy: “I’m SHOCKED, SHOCKED to find that QAnon is going on in the Republican Party!”
Pollster: “Your daily polling numbers among QAnon believers sir.”
McCarthy: “Thank you.”

You just know there will be some subliminal or not so subliminal appearance by Vlad next week.

Ha, I’m going with not so.

Well Congressman McCarthy you, as minority leader, have the power to make sure any QAnon supporting republicans are denied any committee assignments. The question is do you have the balls to take action to support your apparent convictions? The answer to that question is self evident… a big resounding “NO” … you have neither convictions nor balls.

This is actually amazing. The IC and military couldn’t be screaming any louder we have a traitor in the Oval Office.

Seeing in print in the @WSJ this list of Republican national security officials endorsing Biden is really something. This is basically every GOP luminary of the last 30 years, saying “enough” to Trump. Stunning, really.

Kevin McCarthy, hot on the heels of Louie Gohmert for most stupid Republican in the House. Plenty of contenders.

" McEnany claimed to Fox News that Trump does not support the movement, has never mentioned it and doesn’t know much about it."
That sounds familiar.

“May I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no qanonism in the Republican Party. Absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than we are prepared to admit, but all new ratings are warned that if they wake up in the morning and find any conspiracies at all anywhere on their bodies, they’re to tell me immediately so that I can immediately take every measure to hush the whole thing up. And, finally, klanism is right out.”

If everyone would just start calling it Queers Anonymous it will just slowly disappear. Those lame brains wouldn’t be able to handle being thought of as queer (not that there’s any thing wrong with that)

Hey, QAnon. I think I found your human trafficker. You might want to sit down for this one.

Wow. The GOP-endorsed Senate intel. comm. report says Felix Sater told the committee that he believed that his longtime partner–who was a business partner of @realDonaldTrump in the Trump SoHo–engaged in human trafficking in the United States and elsewhere.
