Exclusive Report Claims Mike Pence In Planning To Attend Event Hosted By QAnon Couple

You gotta be kidding me.

Look, we’ve quickly come to realize that we should never, ever expect Donald Trump or anyone hailing from his administration to denounce the right-wing, conspiracy theory, QAnon nuts. Whether Donald and his crew agree with these people or not (though let’s face it, we kind of already know the answer to that), Trump isn’t about to openly criticize a group of people that offers him so much love and support, no matter how batshit crazy they are.

However, even I wasn’t quite prepared for the information I just discovered in a report from The Associated Press — and there’s very little that surprises me out of this administration. At this point, I’ve resigned myself to expecting the worst.

According to the exclusive report from the AP, Vice President Mike Pence, as well as several other top officials from the Trump campaign, are slated to attend an upcoming fundraiser in Montana.

Who’s hosting this event, you may ask?

That would be Caryn and Michael Borland, a couple who regularly pushes QAnon related nonsense.

“The hosts of the fundraiser, Caryn and Michael Borland, have shared QAnon memes and retweeted posts from QAnon accounts, their social media activity shows,” the Associated Press report reads. “The baseless conspiracy theory posits that Trump is fighting entrenched enemies in the government and also involves satanism and child sex trafficking.”

In addition to the Vice President, pro-Trump figures including Kimberly Guilfoyle, GOP chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Republican National Committee finance chairman Todd Ricketts, and RNC co-chairman Tommy Hicks Jr. are also expected to attend the event hosted by the controversial couple.

As the election quickly closes in on the GOP as a whole, with a massive Trump loss on the horizon, it looks as though their desperation is reaching new heights — ones in which they’re not even ashamed of associating themselves with QAnon nutcases, so long as it helps their chances in November.
