Welcome to what is the 1140th original profile here at “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day”, where profiling Carla Spalding, who was a 2016 candidate for Congress in Florida’s 18th Congressional District, was a 2018 candidate in Florida’s 23rd Congressional District, and was a 2020 candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in Florida’s 25th Congressional District, and in 2022, is again supposedly looking to unseat Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz again in FL-25. It’s a fairer assessment to say she’s just running a troll campaign to take cheap shots at her instead.
Spalding’s campaign site states her objective as:
“As a Congresswoman, I promise to defend our Freedom, protect our children from predators, secure the border, and most importantly I WILL DRAIN THAT SWAMP!”
The irony of anyone from Florida saying “drain the swamp” aside, we’re raising an eyebrow at her making a mission statement to “protect children from predators”, because these days, that’s a big tell that a Republican is playing into the Qanon conspiracy, and that there are supposed child sex dungeons being run by Democrats in basements.
And where there’s smoke, there’s fire. In 2018 (which is pretty early to have been on the bandwagon), Carla Spalding posted the Qanon slogan on Twitter, and in 2020, appeared in a Youtube video with a noted Qanon conspiracy theorist, Cirsten Weldon, who recently died of Covid-19 after spreading a lot of anti-vaccination propaganda and refused to get the shot herself.
Carla Spalding is almost certain to get thrashed by Wasserman-Schultz by double-digits here in six weeks’ time. Time will tell how long she continues with the “perennial candidate” game she’s playing.
