Trump’s Pick for Spy Chief Follows Q-Anon Accounts

“For a nominee to helm the U.S. government’s intelligence apparatus, Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) draws on some unusual sources of information,” the Daily Beast reports.

“Ratcliffe’s official, verified campaign Twitter account follows several accounts on the political fringe, including a 9/11 Truther account with just one follower besides himself and four promoting the outlandish QAnon conspiracy theory, which posits that the world is run by a cabal of Democratic pedophile-cannibals — and has been ruled a potential source of domestic terrorism by the FBI.”
