Ron Watkins, an Arizona Republican rumored to be the anonymous QAnon poster Q, lost his bid for a congressional seat Tuesday.

Watkins, who has strongly denied being the lead writer for the movement that spawned Pizzagate, came in seventh out of seven GOP candidates in the states 2nd Congressional District, earning barely 3,000 votes with just over 70% of precincts reporting Wednesday.

A self-described computer scientist in his 30s, Watkins ran an alt-right message board that hosted Qs writings , leading some journalists and academics to conclude that Watkins may have been posting as Q. Watkins denied it during an April debate. I was not Q, and I am not, he said.
