Area Expert™ Tom Nichols doesn’t often share anecdotes, but this one was too good to keep to himself. It seems he was in downtown Newport, which is MAGA country, and overheard someone looking forward to January 6 when his president would be coming back. Is that even a QAnon thing? It’s the first we’ve heard of it.
Overheard in downtown Newport: "Can't wait for January 6, that's when MY president is coming back."

Then they shouted, "This is MAGA country" and tied a noose around your neck. https://t.co/ZSkkaDqBiu

Downtown Newport?
I was a SWO. Been to Newport too many times, and there is no such thing as "downtown Newport."

We have people in the comments saying they’ve also heard it in Massachusetts.

Nichols has no time for conspiracy theorists and their crazy ideas. Now here he is appearing on Joy Reid’s show to discuss the topic, “Dems fight back as GOP tries to dismantle democracy.”
.@RadioFreeTom: "The irony is that a lot of the people that are storming these barricades have had nothing taken away from them. They have been told they have had things taken away from them…" #TheReidOut #reiders pic.twitter.com/0zpn3hAbq1
