Pro-Trump Mayoral Candidate Just Scrubbed His Support for QAnon From His Website—Because of Course

Pro-Trump Mayoral Candidate Just Scrubbed His Support for QAnon From His Website—Because of Course

The QAnon conspiracy web hinges on the deranged belief that a covert group of satanic cannibal pedophiles secretly controls the United States government, and that former President Donald Trump was sent to expose them.

As absurd as the theory is, it's not without its share of believers. The delusion made its way from the dark corners of the internet to the stages of Trump rallies, the halls of Congress, and the deadly failed insurrection against the U.S. Capitol.


Though QAnoners spent years believing anonymous posts from the internet claiming Trump would soon expose the Democratic lawmakers they hated so much, these hopes have largely subsided with Trump out of office for the better part of a year and no "master plan" to reveal itself.

That may be why Eugene "Gene" Ho—a candidate for Mayor of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Trump's former campaign photographer—deleted prior support for the deranged conspiracy theory from his website, according to a report from Ej Dickson of Rolling Stone.

Dickson was able to review past pages of Ho's website through the WayBack machine. Ho's home page for the site, Patriot Forty-Five, described its mission to "provide patriotic, Q & Jesus-lovin' gear that is Made in the USA."

In case there was any doubt of what the "Q" referred to, Ho's site sold merch with popular Q slogans like "WWG1WGA" (where we go one, we go all), "Get WQke," and other references to the QAnon mass delusion. The site even featured a shirt reading "Trump/Kennedy 2020," based on claims from some QAnoners that John F. Kennedy Jr. is actually alive and would be Trump's running mate.

But since Ho launched his mayoral run, the QAnon references have evaporated.

But the internet is forever, and people were soon reacting to the news.




Some fear that, in Myrtle Beach, Ho could have a chance at victory.



Ho has yet to elaborate on the deletion.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

The Obamas Just Shared A Rare Family Photo With Their Adult Daughters To Celebrate Sasha's Birthday

Former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama warmed hearts when they shared the same photo to their respective social media accounts, showing them with their adult daughters, Sasha and Malia, to commemorate Sasha's 24th birthday.

Sasha Obama was born in June 2001, nearly eight years before the family moved into the White House at the start of her father's first term in January 2009. She and her older sister, Malia, now 26, spent their formative years in the presidential residence, growing up there throughout their father’s two terms, until the family departed in 2017.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
