Former GOP Candidate Says She Identifies More With 'Putin's Christian Values' Than With Biden
"As a former Republican nominee for Senate in Delaware, Witzke all-too-regularly makes unhinged statements like this. She's a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy web, which hinges on the belief that a "deep state" of satanic, cannibal pedophiles secretly controls the world order, and that former President Donald Trump was sent to expose them.
She's called transgender people "demonic," and falsely labeled them as "sexual predators," all the while saying the Republican party shouldn't admit LGBTQ people. She's even referred to gay male conservatives with epithets like "Satan's favorite sodomite" and "subversive pervert."
But apparently Putin, who regularly lies to his citizens and whose dissidents often seem to wind up dead or poisoned, is a crusader for Christianity—or at least the version of it Witzke worships."
