Donnie Hall, the GOP operative, would happily run another QAnon candidate so long as their views weren't too extreme — though his definition is extreme is questionable given he thinks Marjorie Taylor Greene is just misunderstood.
"When she said what she said about the Jewish space lasers, I said ‘Oh, jeez,' but if she said something like Israeli space lasers I would’ve said, ‘Yeah, OK’, because who knows what Israel is up to in space.”
Anyway, you should listen to Hall and a cast of other characters from Sequim who spoke to @jkjenkinney for this great episode of the VICE News Reports podcast
Also check out @annamerlan's terrifying story of an armed group of locals in Sequim who became convinced antifa were invading their town & so trapped a family on a camping trip on a rural road for hours by cutting down trees to block their escape

After the assassination of singer Hachalu Hundessa in June, calls for genocide spread like wildfire on FB, often accompanied hours later by proof the acts had been carried out.
In the resulting clashes, hundreds died and thousands more were injured.
“When the violence erupts offline, online content that calls for ethnic attacks, discrimination, and destruction of property goes viral. FB's inaction helps propagate hate & polarization & has a devastating impact on the extent of the violence," @btayeg
Navalny spokesperson @Kira_Yarmysh says “we suspect that Alexei was poisoned by something mixed into [his] tea” which he drank at an airport cafe in the Siberian city of Tomsk before boarding a flight to Moscow.
#Navalny fell ill on the flight and disturbing video footage being shared online shows him screaming in the bathroom. Emergency services take him off the plane after it makes an emergency landing.
