President Trump's latest Twitter tirade took aim at the Transportation Security Administration via a video created by a follower of the QAnon conspiracy theory.
By Tim Elfrink Tim Elfrink Editor of the Morning Mix Email Bio Follow March 20 at 4:08 AM From a QAnon conspiracy theorist to actor James Woods to comedian Larry the Cable Guy to the leader of the free world. Thus travels information in the age of Twitter and President Trump, who took a late-night swing at a familiar punching bag – the Transportation Security Administration – via a nearly two-year-old video spread by a character on the far fringes of the Internet.
The video was reshared on Monday by a Twitter account called Deep State Exposed, which is operated by Jeremy Stone, a follower of the QAnon conspiracy theory. Stone’s twitter bio includes the phrase “WWG1WGA,” shorthand for “Where We Go One We Go All,” a rallying cry for the bizarre theory that ties together the Pizzagate conspiracy and a supposed “deep state” plot to control American politics.
Stone’s latest presidential nod of approval tapped into a long-simmering point of anger for Trump: the TSA and the American airport experience in general. In May 2016, Trump complained that the TSA was “falling apart.” At the Republican National Convention two months later, Trump called the agency a “total disaster” and promised that he would “fix TSA." Yet, among Trump’s budget moves was a proposal in 2017 to slash TSA’s funding to help pay for his border wall.
Larry the Cable Guy, a stand-up comedian famed for his “Git-R-Done” catchphrase, then weighed in, calling the video “Absolutely ridiculous!”
