Mary Ann Mendoza, an Angel mom who was slated to speak during the second night of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, was abruptly pulled from the program hours after she retweeted an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.
“We have removed the scheduled video from the convention lineup and it will no longer run this week," Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said in a statement to Fox News. He did not provide a reason for her removal.
Mendoza, who was scheduled to talk about the death of her police officer son in 2014 in a collision with a drunk driver who was in the U.S. illegally, came under fire earlier in the day when the Daily Beast surfaced a tweet from her in which she urged her followers to investigate a supposed Jewish plot to take over the American government.
“Do yourself a favor and read this thread,” Mendoza, who is a member of the Trump campaign’s advisory board, tweeted Tuesday morning, linking to a thread from a QAnon conspiracy theorist.
The thread was filled with dozens of anti-Semitic tropes and includes a link to "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," a notorious fabrication published in Russia in 1903 that was frequently used in propaganda in Nazi Germany, claiming that it was legitimate.
Probably a fake account.
This will be the main Talking Point tomorrow.
