Pro-Trump Senate Candidate Josh Mandel Suggests 'Liberal Forces' Behind Pandemic, Capitol Riot

Ohio Republican Senate candidate Josh Mandel voiced support for conspiracy theories that "liberal forces" and possibly the "deep state" were behind the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-racism protests in 2020, and the attack on the U.S. Capitol that was actually carried out by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

Mandel has expressed staunch pro-Trump views and has already been endorsed by the former president's former legal adviser Jenna Ellis. The GOP Senate hopeful made his conspiratorial remarks during a recent interview with American Media Periscope.

He said that with "respect to coronavirus, [the] January 6th [Capitol riot] and all—the entire BLM [Black Lives Matter] and Antifa riots and looting—I think a lot of this stuff were organized operations and a lot of it was funded by [liberal billionaire George] Soros and money liberal forces."

Mandel continued, saying that his "guess is that the deep state was very involved with a lot of these operations as well."

..away from the truth. And all the recent revelations resulting from the Select Committee probes may well be an accelerant driving the Trump bunch to greater degrees of outrageous behavior.

And maybe, just maybe, by Nov 2022, most all the voters will have decided Trump and the Republicans really have gone off the deep end and vote their asses out.

And with our awesome superpowers, we control their tiny malleable minds to commit maskless and unvaccinated suicide. Five dimensional chess, you magatfucks.
