The Hawaii Republican Party's vice chair of communications has quit after branding a series of posts about the QAnon conspiracy theory an "error of judgement."
The QAnon theory revolves around the belief that a secret deep-state government of elitists involved in Satan-worship, sex trafficking and pedophilia actually run the world. Its narratives have been largely sparked by an anonymous figure named Q, posting so-called "drops" of information on message boards. Many of those following the theory saw former President Donald Trump as being a savior who would fight against these forces.
A Twitter thread posted by the Hawaii GOP defended those following the theory, stating those who did were "largely motivated by a sincere and deep love for America."
