The wisdom of Politico [politico.com]!

The Illinois Republican called on leaders of both parties to stand up against far-right wing conspiracy theories that have circulated in recent days.

Sub-title. Imagine, both parties, standing up again insanity!

Rep. Adam Kinzinger on Sunday emphasized the importance of President Donald Trump and other leaders calling out QAnon — a set of far-right conspiracy theories that allege the existence of a “deep state” against Trump.

The Illinois Republican, who posted a video on YouTube [youtube.com] explaining QAnon on Sunday morning, said it’s time for other lawmakers to definitively and emphatically denounce the theories.

While QAnon theories have circulated in recent years, they have received more attention since Marjorie Taylor Greene’s primary runoff win in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District on Tuesday.

Greene has vocally supported QAnon theories, and Trump endorsed her candidacy. The president went so far as to call her a “future Republican star” after her primary win. She is heavily favored to win in November.

With Louie Gohmert infected with the Covid-19, the competition for the title of the dumbest member of Congress heats up. Stay tuned for results!
