Q-Anon Conspiracy theorist wins Colorado primary over long-term Republican

Primary voters in Western Colorado have ousted long-term Republican congressman Scott Tipton in favor of Lauren Boebert, a Q-Anon conspiracy theorist. Tipton had won the past five elections.

“The upstart candidate claims the true Trump mantle. And just as the president has been known to promote conspiracy theories, Boebert isn’t dismissive of QAnon, a conspiracy theory alleging a ‘deep state’ attack on Trump, and other allegations against Democratic politicians,” Colorado Public Radio explained. “On a Q-friendly web show, Boebert, based on what she heard about Q, said: ‘I hope that this is real.’”
