A Republican congressional candidate and high-profile ally in Donald Trump’s fight to win over Black voters has admitted to believing a baseless QAnon-related conspiracy theory that the online furniture retailer Wayfair is secretly selling trafficked children over the internet as part of a deep-state plot.

Angela Stanton King, who is running in Atlanta, Georgia, for the congressional seat once held by the late civil rights icon John Lewis, told the Guardian in an on-camera interview she believed the debunked conspiracy theory while continuing to deny she was a follower of QAnon.

When asked if she believed the retailer was involved in a global pedophilia conspiracy, she replied: “You know they are. You saw it. You watch the news just like I did.” The candidate then ended the interview, being taped as part of the Guardian’s Anywhere But Washington series.

1. What is wrong with people that they would believe such nonsense?

I feel like I'm watching a really, really bad movie every time I hear someone talk about Qanon. The problem is, this is reality and there's no way to change the channel or turn off the TV. How did people get this nuts? It's scary.

searches far and wide and turns over every rock to find the absolute most insane candidates possible.

3. John Lewis' district won't go to a republican, whether looney or not.
