Here's the fully functional pro-QAnon Facebook page of Rick Saccone, who stormed the Capitol.

Is Saccone a random dude? No. He's a former Air Force counterintelligence officer who came within 800 votes of winning a seat in Congress as the 2018 GOP nominee for #PA18.

We've spent most of the past four years focusing on the words/actions of one person. But perhaps at the expense of how even trusted figures in communities have become radicalized by falsehoods ripping through the internet/social media at warp speed.

Why haven't @GOPLeader & others publicly acknowledged the election outcome even though he has no doubt as to the result?

Because he & other conference leaders are fearful of being overthrown by members/voters who believe it was stolen. Until that changes, their posture won't.
