A QAnon conspiracy theorist won the GOP Senate primary in Oregon on Tuesday, giving a massive electoral stage to the bizarre pro-Trump movement that the FBI considers a potential domestic terror threat.
Jo Rae Perkins, an insurance agent and avowed QAnon believer, handily won the contest to take on Sen. Jeff Merkley (D) in the general election. Perkins, who has launched unsuccessful Senate and House bids in the past, beat her nearest Republican primary opponent by nearly 20 percentage points on Tuesday.
To celebrate, Perkins tweeted a video acknowledging the support she had received from QAnon believers. The victory speech included references to QAnon slogan Where we go one, we go all, QAnon followers who call themselves Anons, and Q, the anonymous person or group whose clues make up the basis of QAnon.
I stand with President Trump, I stand with Q and the team, Perkins said, holding up a sign with a QAnon slogan on it. Thank you Anons, thank you patriots.
