Conspiracy theorists threaten retaliation against judge, district attorney, TBI

QAnon-aligned voices of the far right are threatening retaliation against a judge, a district attorney and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents for their roles in the recent raids of the Millersville Police Department and the residence of conspiracy-minded Assistant Police Chief Shawn Taylor.

Mark Finchem — the Arizona election denier who has associated with QAnon conspiracy theorists and 9/11 truthers — recently revealed in a far-right podcast that Taylor has been working with him for years, and that they are ready to train their sights on the people who are investigating the Millersville “conspiracy cop.”

The comments came during a Sept. 11 appearance on the Patriot Streetfighter podcast hosted by Scott McKay.

A prominent figure in the widely mocked and discredited QAnon conspiracy movement, McKay himself has claimed that Americans are secretly living on Mars, suggested that Jared Kushner may be a clone created by the Chinese government, argued that Jews are pulling the levers of “every institution of power on Earth,” praised Adolf Hitler for “fighting the same people that we’re trying to take down today” and threatened to “put … bullets inside” medical professionals involved in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
