Of course, none of that occurred. But the Texas Republican Party has adopted QAnon's mantra. And, with the support of major corporations, it is radicalizing politics in the Lone Star State.

One of West’s first moves as chairman was changing the party’s slogan to “We are the Storm” – a not-so-subtle nod to the apocalyptic “Storm” that QAnon believers await.

Allen West defends 'sexist' comments by implying Democrats are racists. (Crooks and Liars, 7/21/2011)
Excerpt: West, who stands by the remarks, offered the following defense to Fox News.
"This is something, once again, the Democrat Party, they put my Social Security number and my wife's employment identification number in a mail piece," he said. "This has just been an ongoing thing. I have been called Uncle Tom, a sell-out Oreo. It's not about Allen West. And so once again, it's very interesting to me that we continually allow liberals to do whatever they want and attack conservatives, but all of the sudden when a conservative stands up and says enough then people all want to sit back, especially liberals, and play victim. She's not a victim. She's been attacking Allen West for quite some time."
