QAnon-linked Senate candidate under fire for ‘vile and racist attacks’ on RBG

A Republican US Senate candidate linked to the extremist QAnon movement has drawn flak for posting messages accusing Ruth Bader Ginsburg of upholding abortion rights to limit the growth of black and brown Americans.

Lauren Witzke, who won last week’s primary to contest the Democratic-held seat in Delaware, also wrote on Twitter that her Democratic opponent Chris Coons, who supports abortion rights, was a “Christian-hating baby killer”.

“I’m coming for your seat, satanist," she said.

Ms Witzke began her volley of anti-Ginsburg messages on Facebook soon after the beloved judge’s death was announced on Friday night. In one message, she accused Justice Ginsburg of supporting abortion to curb the growth of non-white populations in the US.
