Ilhan Omar’s GOP Challenger Is Apparently A QAnon Conspiracy Theorist
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Meet Danielle Stella. She’s a Republican running against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who also seems to follow the conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump faked collusion with Russia in an effort to get Robert Mueller to take down the “deep state.”
Yeah, it’s a lot.
Stella launched her campaign earlier last month, and people were quick to notice her ties to QAnon, especially on Twitter.

Hi Danielle @ 2020MNCongress
Is it possible clarify whether or not you consider yourself affiliated with QAnon?
The "Q" necklace in your recent photo may stand for "Queen." But your use of the "WWG1WGA" hashtag, follows, and likes suggests a Q affiliation.
Thanks for your time.
The hashtag #WWG1WGA stands for “Where we go one, we go all,” the rallying cry for QAnon supporters.
Even one of her announcement tweets featured a selfie of her wearing a “Q” necklace:
Danielle Stella @2020MNCongress
Minnesota District 5, I'm challenging @ IlhanMN for this seat, to serve the great men, women and children. I will fight for everyone's voice to be heard. http:// stella2020.com # Stella2020 # StandUnited # IlhanMustGo
But a former staffer for Stella’s campaign, Jodi Larson, told the Daily Beast that the candidate’s apparent support for the conspiracy theory was all an act.
She said Stella wears the Q necklace “to get attention.”
“She tries to portray herself as she supports [QAnon], but she doesn’t even understand it,” Larson said.

Lordy.
Should we all need to support Ilhan Omar then as "the lesser of two evils"?
Her opponent is visibly mentally ill after all.
We should support Omar regardless.
I have met AOC. She is lovely and a good representative of MY Congressional District. In fact, she will be a block away in The Bronx on Saturday attending our local food fair. No unknown far far rightwing fruit loop in the damn gop has any chances at all of ever unseating Alex From The Block...
The same is, I am sure , regarding Ilhan Omar! Her seat is quite safe...
the other hand, Ilhan Omar, Tulsi Gabbard and AOC are among the youngest and among the least senior Members of the United States Congress where they are only three of 355 Members. Though they all have some very solid progressives policy ideas and valid proposals regarding taxes, education and healthcare they are merely proposals which even even if the House of Representatives did pass them have zero chances of passing the gop senate and which Trump would sirely veto anyway.
I am sure you are 100% right about that.
What was kind of shocking was that a far, far leftwing fruit loop in the damn Democratic Party had a chance to upset an entrenched Democrat in that district.
But like Nancy says---a glass of water with a "D" behind it could get elected there.
Gabbard is now saying Harris is not fit to be President.
I don't trust Gabbard one damned bit.
Same with Gillibrand. Don't trust either one of them. Hope neither end up becoming the nominee, then I will have to vote for the lesser of two evils.
I actually agree with that.
It IS hard to trust Democrats!
I guess everyone on Newstalkers agrees that Omar's GOP opponent is mentally ill (subscriber to "QAnon) and Ilhan Omar should be re-elected to Congress on the "lesser of two evils" basis.
What a freak. Danielle Stella that is.
She wouldn't even need makeup to play the joker. Are we sure she is a human being?
"QAnon" conspirator AND Trump like ethics! It's no wonder Danielle Stella is such a right wing darling.
