The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is putting an additional $ 100,000 behind its effort to bind vulnerable Republicans to QAnon conspiracy theory and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), And releases new Spanish-language ads targeting three GOP House on Monday. members in competing neighborhoods.
The ad purchase represents the DCCC’s first six-digit Spanish-language ad purchase of the 2022 cycle and builds on the $ 550,000 in ads released last week accusing eight Republicans of joining the party’s fringe elements that were involved in the storming of the Capitol on January 6.
The ads are served in districts represented by Reps. Mike Garcia (R-Calif.), David ValadaoDavid Gonçalves Valadao Here are the GOP lawmakers censored by Republicans for impeaching Trump Scars of Capitol attack high-security inauguration Upton becomes first member of Congress to vote to impeach two presidents MORE (R-Calif.) And Maria E. Salazar (R-Fla.).
QAnon, a conspiracy theory that originated online, took over the Republican Party, sending QAnon followers like Marjorie Taylor Greene to Congress and with Donald TrumpDonald Trump Dominion Spokesman: Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow ‘begs to be charged’ DC officers defending Capitol, Sicknick’s family honored at Super Bowl US will rejoin UN Human Rights Council: MORE report incited a mob that attacked the Capitol and killed a police officer, ”says one of the ads. Then Republicans like David Valadao voted to support Marjorie Taylor Greene and let QAnon win. Congressman David Valadao should have supported us. David Valadao was with Q, not you. “
Democrats stripped Greene of her committee duties last week after previous comments emerged about her embracing conspiracy theories. Less than a dozen Republicans joined them to vote to remove Greene from the committees.
The House GOP campaign gun shot back, noting that none of the lawmakers targeted by the Spanish-language ads has supported the QAnon conspiracy theory.
Salazar voted to strip Greene of her committee duties. Valadao voted to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the mob that attacked the Capitol. Garcia voted to convict QAnon last year.
“House Democrats are so desperate that they are setting fire to donor money by running a disinformation campaign that has actually been checked as false by multiple news outlets,” said NRCC spokeswoman Torunn Sinclar. “The lies of House Democrats will not change the reality that Republicans have won 28 of the 29 most competitive House races in 2020, lost zero House Republican incumbents and Republicans are on track to win even more seats in 2022.”
Democrats believe that tying the entire GOP to QAnon and Greene will be a powerful issue further harming Republicans with the suburban voters moving away from the party during the Trump years.
“Washington Republicans have made their choice – they chose to give in to the murderous QAnon mob that has taken over their party,” DCCC Chairman Sean Patrick Maloney (DN.Y.) said. said.
Washington Republicans are trying to get it both ways – refusing to hold to account those responsible for the attack on the Capitol, with nothing but empty words after years of rousing lies and conspiracy theories. Voters understand the danger posed by conspiracy theorists and violent white supremacists, but instead of rejecting extremism in their party, Republicans have welcomed them. There is no middle ground, but the actions of the Republicans in Washington have made one thing clear: No American will be safe from the QAnon crowd when Washington Republicans are in power. “
