Welcome to what is the 1048th original profile here at “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day”, where we’ll be profiling Lavern Spicer, who was a 2020 candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in Florida’s 24th Congressional District, hoping to knock of Democratic Congresswoman Frederica Wilson. She had the benefit of there being no GOP Primary for the seat, and thus she was the only candidate on the ballot for them. She is yet the latest in our way, way too long line of Republicans who ran for Congress in 2020 who were also adherents of the Qanon conspiracy theory. She repeatedly linked to a Q video called “The Fall of the Cabal”, that was the tip of the spear for many supporters of the conspiracy theory for first learning of it.
Lavern Spicer got absolutely wrecked by Frederica Wilson on Election Day in 2020, getting just 20% of the vote. She immediately regrouped for a 2022 campaign, but does not seem like she’ll be having much more luck, considering the headlines she drew for her take on Kyree Irving of the Brooklyn Nets’ refusing to get the Covid-19 vaccine, and thus making himself ineligible to practice or play with teammates per New York’s pandemic guidelines. Upon hearing there was a fellow anti-vaxx loon out there getting skewered by the media for his stance, Lavern Spicer got on Twitter to try to show she didn’t understand several things… like modes of tran smission for viruses, or vaccinations, or… false equivalencies.
“They let Magic Johnson play basketball with FULL-BLOWN HIV but won’t let Kyrie Irving play because he won’t get a COVID shot.”
The top two replies to her idiocy were clearly:
”Didn’t know HIV could spread thru the air”
”Are you aware that NBA players do not have penetrative sex during a game?”
Anyway… Lavern Spicer’s 2022 campaign for Congress now hedges on if she can get people to believe she’s going to Washington to impeach the “tyrant” Joe Biden over mandating federal employees and the military get the Covid-19 vaccine. We’ll note that the main media outlet touting her as a candidate is RT, aka Russia Today. Interesting source of support, that.
We are hoping this will be the only time we have to make mention of her.
