Bango is an avowed QAnon believer. In its simplest form, the dangerous QAnon conspiracy theory that alleges that a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles are running a global sex-trafficking ring, control world governments and are trying to bring down former President Donald Trump — who is himself single-handedly dismantling the cabal.

 

Bango is also a singer who has recorded at least two QAnon anthems. Both songs, “Great Awakening” and “Here Comes the Pain,” feature lyrics that are taken directly from Q postings. The music videos for each directly references numerous Q posts and QAnon generally.

 

In October 2020, Bango and her son, Jacob, with whom she wrote the songs, performed at QCon Live in Scottsdale. According to the event’s schedule, they took the stage immediately after a presentation by Jim Watkins, a QAnon conspiracy theorist and the operator of the imageboard website 8chan/8kun where QAnon began.

 

Videos for both songs were posted on YouTube, but were taken down for violating the streaming platform’s terms of service. In archived pages for the songs “Here Comes the Pain” and “The Great Awakening” that Bango posted to her personal YouTube page, she wrote that the songs are dedicated to President Donald Trump, members of the military, “the alternative truth media combating the FAKE NEWS” and “the Anons on the Chans” — referring to anonymous users of sites like 8chan, where QAnon originated — because they “dedicate their brilliant minds to solving clues from the greatest military operation of all time – Qanon.”

 

“We began following the Q posts as a family since November 2017, and joined patriots across these great United States of America, and all over the world, to spread the message of TRUTH, HONOR, GOODNESS, and awaken people to the REAL fight between GOOD VS. EVIL,” she also wrote.

 

The page features numerous links to QAnon websites and the YouTube pages of more than a dozen QAnon influencers.

 

In another video that Bango posted in 2019, titled “Trump #17 QProofs! #Q17,” Bango referred viewers to her QAnon anthems and to a QAnon website. (The number 17 refers to the letter Q, the 17th letter of the alphabet.)

 

On YouTube, Bango has also made a playlist titled “Qanon Great Awakening.”

 

Bango regularly posts about QAnon and uses QAnon-related hashtags on Facebook. In 2019, she posted about being appointed as a Republican precinct committeeman and included #WWG1WGA, meaning “Where We Go One, We Go All,” a phrase used as a rallying cry among the so-called “digital soldiers” of the QAnon community.

 

“17=Q … Coincidence? I think not!!! #MAGA #WWG1WGA #QArmy #GreatAwakening,” she wrote on Jan. 20, 2020, along with an image of a Trump tweet. Except for #MAGA, all of the other hashtags are explicitly related to QAnon.

 

Two months later, she posted about her belief that Trump was “Q+,” indicating she believes that the former president was Q’s boss and was essentially orchestrating QAnon.

 

Chris Baker, a Republican political consultant whose clients include U.S. Rep. David Schweikert, said it’s “utterly embarrassing” that the Arizona Republican Party would pay Bango any money — much less when its finances are in shambles.

 

“It’s grossly irresponsible, and idiotic, for a party facing the financial strains it’s facing to pay $13,000 to a member of QAnon,” Baker said. “For a party that desperately needs to restore trust with mainstream conservatives, this is terrible optics.”

 

Petsas said prospective donors need to know that the AZGOP will spend its money responsibly, and this demonstrates the opposite.

 

“I think donors will be just so appalled,” she said. “This is like a huge stop sign for donors.”
