2 Hawaii GOP officials resign after state party tweets, then deletes, support for believers of QAnon
The chairperson for the Hawaii Republican Party stepped down on Sunday after the party's Twitter account posted a series of tweets flattering believers of the QAnon conspiracy theory.
A communications official for the state party previously resigned from his position.
In a thread on January 22, which was deleted days later after backlash, the Hawaii GOP account said, "We should make it abundantly clear - the people who subscribed to the Q fiction, were largely motivated by a sincere and deep love for America. Patriotism and love of County should never be ridiculed." Some tweets about QAnon sent earlier in January remained on the account days later.
In a since-deleted post, the party's Twitter account also promoted a Holocaust denier who is popular on YouTube, saying "his commentary and analysis is generally high quality."
