Liz Crokin, a popular QAnon influencer who boasts over 100,000 followers on Telegram and hundreds of paid subscribers on Substack, wrote on Telegram that the emails allude to Dorsey being in the same Satanic group as Hillary Clinton’s advisor John Podesta. “Pizza is a pedophile codeword that has been identified by law enforcement,” Crokin wrote. (She, too, remains suspended on Twitter.)
On Tuesday, Crokin spoke at Mar-a-Lago, where she discussed “Pizzagate, Balenciaga and what the Trump Administration has done to combat human trafficking,” according to her Telegram channel. . Crokin also uploaded a speech from Trump to a small meeting, where he heaped praise on his briefly appointed national security adviser, Michael Flynn — who became one of the most famous QAnon influencer in recent years.
