I think any national leader who “does not know about” QAnon is disqualified from holding any leadership position. Its like saying “I do not know that thing called crime, am I pronouncing that right?”

Kev traveled to Mar-a-Lago for Trump Tips and came away with ‘LIE LIE LIE’ and when called out on it LIE again. It’s the Trumpian Way.

Just like Trump when he said “I don’t know who David Duke is” after having refused to run for the Reform Party because Duke was in it.

He’s denounced it publicly, more than once. This is just insultingly stupid. Not even just to us libs they’re trying to own. It’s an insult to their own people. You’re on tape, for fuck’s sake.

“‘Q-on’…I don’t know if I say it right, I don’t even know what it is,” he [said], mispronouncing the name.

Several crocodiles spouted large tears while applauding his effort.

Qevin McQarthy and the GQP have elevated mendacious gibberish to an art form. Though it’s an art form with limited appeal.

So, is he trying to say that Greene denounced QAnon in her private meeting with him? Am I mis-reading that? If so, then let’s hear it publicly from her.

The only conclusion is that Republicans like to tell lies and mislead the American people.

Kevin McCarthy is sentient tile grout mold.

Wait! I’m sorry. I apologize for that statement. This is what I should have said:

Kevin McCarthy is BARELY sentient tile grout mold.

She does not want to denounce her Q beliefs publicly, because it would cut down on her grift. She trashes the crazy in public and they turn on her. I’m just really looking forward to how many vote against her after so many voted to keep Liz Cheney in power.
