Rep.-elect Mayra Flores on Tuesday won a special election in Texas to join the US House of Representatives, becoming the latest GOP candidate to reference the QAnon theory before joining Congress.
Flores was one of several candidates tracked by the media watchdog Media Matters for America, which found multiple instances of her referencing the QAnon conspiracy theory movement on social media.
QAnon is the far-right conspiracy movement centered around the baseless belief that former President Donald Trump is fighting a "deep state" cabal of human traffickers and Satan-worshiping pedophile elites who secretly run the world.
Media Matters, the media watchdog, cataloged several social-media posts in which Flores used hashtags related to QAnon, including #q, #qanon, and #wwg1wga, the shorthand for the movement's slogan "Where we go one, we go all."
