John Gibbs at PDJT Rally
John Gibbs, the former Trump administration official backed by the ex-President in his bid to unseat a Republican congressman who voted for impeachment, has a history of conspiratorial and inflammatory tweets and defended a notorious anti-Semitic troll banned by Twitter.
CNN's KFile first reported on Gibbs' statements in 2018, when he was appointed to a position within the Trump administration. He announced last week a primary bid against freshman GOP Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan, who voted to impeach Trump earlier this year.
Gibbs sent several tweets promoting an unfounded conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign chairman John Podesta took part in a Satanic ritual – which was among the theories Republican Sen. Mitt Romney called "extreme, if not bizarre or nonsensical" at Gibbs' confirmation hearing last year.

John Gibbs, a former senior aide to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, told The Star News Network why he went home to Michigan to defeat Meijer in the Republican primary. Gibbs: When I walk around my district, people literally hugged me when I tell them I'm running against Peter Meijer.

Republican John Gibbs, who is challenging GOP U.S. Rep. Peter Meijer, is holding a fundraiser Wednesday at former President Donald Trump's club at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, his campaign said.
At the fundraiser, Gibbs, 42, of Byron Center and his donors will get to meet with Trump, who has endorsed Gibbs, according to Gibbs' campaign.
The fundraiser comes ahead of Trump's planned rally Saturday in Washington Township which will be his first visit to Michigan since the night before the November 2020 presidential election.
