A Florida resident who has become an odd player in the campaign to replace Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney says controversial statements he made in the past, like those related to the QAnon conspiracy theory, were part of an effort to discredit a liberal media that was poised against him.
In an interview with WyoFile, Karl K.W. Miller, who recently moderated a candidate forum in Casper featuring all but two participants in the 2022 Republican primary for Congress, downplayed his past statements seemingly showing support for the conspiracy theory. Miller said his social media activity during his independent 2020 bid for U.S. Congress in the Sunshine State (in which he received 2% of the vote) was an effort to demonstrate bias by social media giants like Twitter and Facebook.
David Iverson, one of the organizers of the event and host of the conservative podcast Cowboy State Politics, did not respond to a request for comment on Millers involvement.
A resident of Palm Beach, Miller has recently gotten involved in Wyomings 2022 Wyomings Republican primary race for Cheneys seat through his America First Political Committee. The group is mobilizing to remove liberals and socialist [sic] from political office in 2022, according to its website. Miller comes to Wyoming with a checkered past in politics that includes criminal charges and social media posts promoting bizarre conspiracy theories.

(107,472 posts)1. Wyoming doesn't take to outsiders. Even Liz was considered an outsider in her first election & lost
despite the Cheneys' long ties to Wyoming.
This may be the more potent factor, rather than this guy's obvious checkered history and grotesque association with outside CT groups.
