Three weeks ago, I asked @AllenWest about the perceived connection between QAnon and @TexasGOP "We Are The Storm" motto. West told me it comes from a quote he likes, so I dropped it.
I'm curious if @maggieNYT reached out to West for this? #txlegehttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/20/us/politics/qanon-trump-republicans.html …
.@AllenWest said the motto comes from this quote:
"The devil whispers into the warrior's ear 'you cannot withstand the coming storm.' The warrior whispers back 'I am the storm.'
When I asked bout QAnon: "I don't know about anybody else & I'm not into internet conspiracies."
.@AllenWest is mentioned in this piece but isn't quoted and it isn't noted that he declined an interview or was not reachable. #txlegehttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/20/us/politics/qanon-trump-republicans.html …
"The @TexasGOP are an unusually visible example of the Republican Party’s dalliance with QAnon...” how can you print that without knowing it's a purposeful connection? Maybe I’m missing something.
There is no mainstream QAnon movement and NYTimes reporters would know this if they knew or spent time with any Republicans on a day-to-day basis. More Democrats believe Trump and Putin are in cahoots. If you want to talk mainstream conspiracies.
If you believe that...good lord. Of course West isn’t going to say there’s a connection. He isn’t dumb. He may not personally believe in Q, but does know the buzzwords that work w/Trump’s supporters. He could choose different language. He doesn’t. The gaslighting is exhausting.
Maybe! But doesn’t everyone deserve a call?
Gosh, what an embarrassing coincidence they accidentally chose a QAnon slogan. 
Ever heard of plausible deniability? The Qs know perfectly well how it’s meant...
