How the extreme conspiracy movement QAnon enters the US Congress for the first time
A new deputy brings the radical conspiracy theory to the US House of Representatives.
Marjorie Greene openly admitted to being a QAnon supporter and is now moving into the US House of Representatives as a member of parliament.
In the United States, not only the president was elected on election night, but also the Senate and the House of Representatives. A supporter of an extreme conspiracy movement will now move on to the latter.
Die Republikanerin Marjorie Greene.
He repeatedly expressed his support for the QAnon movement. His supporters claim that a Satan-worshiping elite controls the world and abuses children. As the savior of the movement, they see President Donald Trump, who, according to the twisted worldview, is fighting this pedophile elite. That should lead to a day of reckoning in which journalists and politicians would be arrested by the thousands.
Trump encouraged QAnon supporters
The move gained popularity during the Trump presidency, including in Switzerland. People with the Q emblem appeared with increasing frequency at Trump rallies. With Greene, QAnon has definitely hit the political scene. In the 14th district of Georgia, she was the Republican candidate at 3 a.m. (Swiss time) with a 74 percent lead, enough for the US media to announce her as the winner.
Is it all just an appearance?
Greene has now distanced himself from theory and has tried to shed the image of a QAnon candidate. However, videos of her are circulating on the internet that clearly express her beliefs. In one, Greene said, “There is a golden opportunity to shut down this worldwide cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles, and I think we have the president who can do that.”
He also called investor George Soros a “Nazi” and defended the conspiracy theory that the Pentagon was missed by a plane during the 9/11 attacks. Greene posted a collage of photos on Facebook in September of her carrying an assault rifle along with photos of three Democratic congressmen, who they perceived as a threat of violence.
She is a star for Trump
US President Trump called Greene a “Republican star” and a “real winner” on Twitter. Trump himself spoke ambivalently to QAnon and, in some cases, even strengthened belief in the movement. When asked by a reporter about QAnon supporters, he recently said, “You really like me, which I appreciate.” And: “I heard that it is the people who love our country.”
