ME-SEN: Susan Collins donated $400 each to 2 QAnon supporters
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine donated money to two QAnon supporters running for state legislature seats.
Records show that both Kevin Bushey and Brian Redmond, two Republican candidates running for election to the Maine House of Representatives, received $400 each from Dirigo PAC, a political action committee heavily affiliated with Collins.
Both candidates have openly embraced QAnon on social media, according to Mainer, which first reported the contributions.
QAnon is a baseless far-right conspiracy theory that claims President Donald Trump is secretly fighting a "deep state" cabal of satanic pedophiles and cannibals. Last year, the FBI designated QAnon as a domestic-terrorism group, saying it's filled with "conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists" and citing it as a growing threat.
