If approved, the measure would condemn QAnon, ask federal law enforcement agencies to remain vigilant against violence provoked by conspiracy theories + urge Americans to get information from trustworthy sources.
The measure cites several incidents where QAnon adherents were linked to crimes they claimed were inspired by their beliefs, including the 2018 arrest of a man who plotted to plant a bomb in the Illinois Capitol Rotunda to raise awareness of the conspiracy theory.
But some QAnon-linked candidates have nevertheless won Republican congressional primaries this year. One candidate, Marjorie Taylor Greene, is likely to win the general election in her staunchly Republican district in northwestern Georgia. Trump called her a "future Republican Star" in a tweet after her primary win, though McEnany told reporters Trump had not"done a deep dive into the statements" of Greene.
