Angry response to Hawaii Republican Party's defence of QAnon supporters from ridicule and its claims they are motivated by a 'deep love for America'
Hawaii's Republican Party posted a series of tweets that appeared to defend followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory.
The eight-part Twitter thread on Friday night, concluded with a call not to ridicule QAnon supporters.
The tweet read: "We should make it abundantly clear - the people who subscribed to the Q fiction, were largely motivated by a sincere and deep love for America. Patriotism and love of County should never be ridiculed."
In earlier tweets, Hawaii's GOP described the origins of the conspiracy theory that is thought to have fueled the deadly siege of the US Capitol building.
One tweet focused on the conspiracy theory's central belief that a 'deep state' engage in coordinated plots to undermine former President Donald Trump.
It read: "What is the truth? There are highly networked groups of people with specific agendas. Factions and individuals within Government do abuse power - Peter Strozk, Steele Dossier, James Comey, FISA courts, and on."
It continued: "Powerful people do engage in abusive or predatory behavior."
Another tweet said: "People who followed Q don't deserve mockery, the world is a complex place, there are bad actors, injustice, corruption."
The tweets drew criticism from people who felt the Hawaii Republican Party's tweets were attempting to rationalize the disproven QAnon conspiracy theory.
Adherents of the conspiracy were on the front line of the insurrection on January 6.
A QAnon influencer - the 'Q Shaman' - played a highly visible role in the Capitol siege. He has since been arrested and charged with federal crimes.
Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot during the attempted coup, also appeared to be a supporter of QAnon.
Some of the conspiracy theory's adherents believed that storming the Capitol could trigger an event that would result in Trump overthrowing and executing anti-Trump elites.
First, beyond basic respect for them as fellow humans, I don't owe these idiots one fucking thing.
Second: "The defendant, having posted video of himself murdering his parents, thinks he can get off by begging for mercy because now he's an orphan?"
Fuck 'em. Maybe the prison shrink can help unfuck their little pea brains. There are people among us who simply must be removed from the general population - at least until they can figure out how to behave like normal adults.
