A speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Sunday promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory from the main stage of the rally, shortly before Donald Trump would appear at the Conservative movement’s first annual event. Former Congresswoman Angela Stanton King, who regularly reinforced the conspiracy theory on social media asks to investigate whether QAnon’s bizarre allegations about a cabal of cannibal pedophiles who control the world and a mysterious figure named Q who gives hidden messages to Trump supporters are real.
“Let’s address it,” King said. ‘So we know in this election that there were some things going on regarding the conspiracy theories with Q, right? And I think I, as a human being, have always been a lawyer, whether it was for abused children or for the people who were locked up before I ever got into the Conservative movement. I therefore think that any allegations that come up regarding any form of child abuse deserve to be investigated, it deserves to be made aware of. ”
The CPAC crowd welcomed King’s call for an inquiry into the allegations of QAnon believers, which include allegations that Democratic Party leaders and celebrities from Hollywood sexually abused and drank their blood to stay young. Supporters of QAnon believe in a moment called ‘The Storm’, in which they expect Trump to order mass arrests or executions of his political opponents.

“I think that, you know, once we find out, you know if it’s true or not, then we can move on, but we should at least be able to address it,” King said, claiming that the media tried to “cancel” her. ”Because of her faith in QAnon.
King, who served two years in prison for an auto theft ring and was pardoned by Trump in 2020, stormed out of an interview once after being confronted about her support for QAnon. A positive mention of QAnon from the CPAC stage is another way to the GOP for the conspiracy theory, related to murders and other crimes. A number of QAnon believers took leading roles in the U.S. Capitol riot and broke into the building, threatening police officers.
The FBI considers the conspiracy theory, which has also been praised in the past by newly elected representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO), as a possible source of domestic terrorism.
The CPAC panel on which King appears has already been embroiled in controversy, after the scheduled speaker ‘Young Pharaoh’ was deleted from the program over tweets attacking Jewish people.
