Welcome to what is the 960th profile here at “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day”, where we’ll be briefly profiling Ignacio Cruz, who was a 2020 candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in California’s 19th Congressional District and also the latest in candidates for office we’ve profiled who openly supported the Qanon conspiracy theory. Yes, we have yet another loon who thought that Donald Trump was going to expose a secret Satantic pedophile cult of Democrats THAT TOTALLY EXISTS and then execute the perpetrators in military tribunals. Cruz kept sharing Qanon posts and using the Qanon hashtag, but that’s not the only bulls*** he shared on social media during his run for office.
He also shared a “satirical” article that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar offered her condolences to deceased ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi when he was killed by U.S. forces. The question at this point is if he knew it was false and was knowingly smearing her, or stupid enough to have believed the lie. Considering the Qanon angle, it’s probably the latter.
Cruz finished third in the open primary for CA-19 with 11%, missing the mark to qualify for the November general election by about 1300 votes. Had he won, he would have gotten stomped in that race by Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren anyway. We are hoping the stain of “Q” on his political profile makes him unviable as a candidate in any election, going forward.
