Cochise Sup. Judd spreads conspiracy myths, deletes Facebook after taking part in Jan. 6 Capitol mar

A Cochise County supervisor deleted her Facebook profile and is facing calls to resign after she touted conspiracy myths associated with the QAnon movement and posted about her participation in the January 6 march on the U.S. Capitol that became a deadly insurrection.
Supervisor Peggy Judd says she is fearful of being "punished" and "defiled" by the press and critical voices within her own community. Speaking with TucsonSentinel.com, the Republican supervisor said she has recently endured unfriendly remarks and calls for her resignation from "bad people" — and she fears that "more than her freedom" is being endangered by the attention and criticism she has received since the incident at the Capitol.
The critical voices in Judd's ear are those of some Cochise County citizens who have been troubled and outraged by Judd's participation in the January 6 "Stop the Steal" rally, which featured President Donald Trump and turned into a violent mob attacking the U.S. Capitol.
Judd also raised alarm among some in the Cochise community with her consistent promotion of unfounded conspiracist statements about the November election and the attack on the Capitol. An investigation by the Sentinel found that Judd and a member of her family apparently exchanged QAnon material around the time of their involvement in the events in Washington.
