Sen. Collins acknowledges her PAC donated to pro-QAnon Maine candidates

by WGMEFriday, October 16th 2020

PORTLAND (WGME) -- Senator Susan Collins is acknowledging that her political action committee, "Dirigo PAC" has donated money to a pair of northern Maine candidates for the state legislature who believe in QAnon.

Trump criticizes Sen. Collins for saying she'll vote against Judge Amy Coney Barrett
QAnon is a conspiracy theory that says that President Donald Trump is waging a secret war against Satan-worshipping pedophiles across the government, businesses and the media.

Kevin Bushey and Brian Redmond each received $400 from the Dirigo PAC.

Both have posted on social media at length about the conspiracy theory.

America and the world for that matter need to see Republicans marginalized to the extreme.
