RNC Speaker Cancelled After Boosting QAnon Conspiracy Theory About Jewish Plot to Enslave the World

One of the speakers for the second night of the Republican National
Convention was pulled from the program after The Daily Beast surfaced a
tweet from her, earlier in the day, urging her followers to investigate a
supposed Jewish plot to enslave the world.
“Do yourself a
favor and read this thread,” Mary Ann Mendoza, who is a member of the
Trump campaign’s advisory board, tweeted to her more than 40,000
followers Tuesday morning.
Mendoza, an “angel mom,” was scheduled to speak Tuesday about her
son’s 2014 death at the hands of a drunk driver who was in the country
illegally. But a Republican source familiar with the programming said
the speech had been cancelled amid uproar over her tweet.
Hours earlier, Mendoza had linked to a lengthy thread from a QAnon
conspiracy theorist that laid out a fevered, anti-Semitic view of the
world. In its telling, the Rothschilds—a famous Jewish banking family
from Germany—created a plot to terrorize non-Jewish “goyim,” with
purported details of their scheme that included plans to “make the goyim
destroy each other” and “rob the goyim of their landed properties.”
Drawing on more than a century’s worth of anti-Semitic hoaxes and
smears, the thread claimed that malevolent Jewish forces in the banking
industry are out to enslave non-Jews and promote world wars. Riddled
with QAnon references, the thread from Twitter user @WarNuse claimed
that the Titanic had been sunk to protect the Federal Reserve, and that
every president between John F. Kennedy and Donald Trump was a “slave
president” in the thrall of a global cabal.
The thread also
promoted “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” an anti-Semitic hoax
popular in Nazi Germany, and claimed that its allegations about a Jewish
plot to control the world are real.
“The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion is not a fabrication,” the thread that
Mendoza shared reads. “And, it certainly is not anti-semetic (sic) to
point out this fact.”
After The Daily Beast published this article, Mendoza deleted her tweet
and tweeted an apology “for not paying attention to the intent of the
whole message.” While Mendoza had initially urged her followers to read
the thread, she claimed on Tuesday evening that she had not read all of
the posts in the thread.
“That does not reflect my feelings or personal thoughts whatsoever,” Mendoza tweeted.
EDITOR'S NOTE: She didn't pay attention ... like shit she did not.
“The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” predates the Nazis by 30 years. The anti-Semitic book was published in 1903 in Russia. It was translated by anti-Semites into many different languages. The English version was published in 1919.

Does that mean there ISN'T an international Jewish conspiracy to take over the world? I am disappointed. I was thinking of converting.
