RNC speaker pulled from schedule after promoting anti-Semitic QAnon theory
An Arizona “angel mom” who had been set to speak at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night was pulled from the lineup just minutes before her planned appearance after promoting an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory over social media.
Mary Ann Mendoza, whose police officer son died in 2014 after a drunken driver crashed into him, was supposed to have a prerecorded speech air on the second night of President Donald Trump’s Republican confab.
But Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh confirmed to the New York Daily News that Mendoza’s speech was removed in the eleventh hour after she posted a since-deleted tweet Tuesday morning urging her followers to read a lengthy, anti-Semitic thread about a Jewish plot to “control” the “goyim.”
“We have removed the scheduled video from the convention lineup and it will no longer run this week,” Murtaugh said in a text message.
