FLORIDA POLICE OFFICER WEARING QANON PATCH GREETS MIKE PENCE

A Florida sheriffs office SWAT team member was pictured greeting Vice President Mike Pence while wearing a patch on his uniform referencing the QAnon conspiracy theory.
The police officer at Broward Sheriffs office was among the team in a picture tweeted from Pences official account greeting the vice president when he arrived at Fort-Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Friday.

The officer wearing the QAnon patch was pictured meeting Vice President Mike Pence.
Jared Holt, of liberal media watchdog Right Wing Watch, was among the first to comment on the patch on the officers chest, featuring a big black Q and the slogan question the narrative.
The tweet featuring the picture of the officer has since been deleted, and a new message with pictures not featuring the patch sent out.
"Grateful for the courageous members of law enforcement who helped with my visit to Florida this afternoon. Thank you for everything you do to help keep our communities SAFE. Great to meet you!" said Pence in the tweet.
An official with the vice presidents office told Buzzfeed News that the image was removed so as not to draw attention to the baseless conspiracy theory.
