Welcome to what is the 1015th original profile here at “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day”, where we’ll be profiling Billy Earley, a 2020 candidate for U.S. House of Representatives for California’s 44th Congressional District, and a guy we’re perplexed as to the reasons why he was running for Congress as a Republican, given his posing for photos in front of a mural of George Floyd and his commitment to combating alleged discrimination by the California medical board targeted against African-American doctors.
That makes him an unlikely GOP candidate given how the Republican Party has taken quite the turn towards white nationalist ideology the past few years. Still, we have to include Earley in our far-too-long list of Republican Congressional candidates from 2020 who were touting the Qanon conspiracy theory, which Earley promoted on both his Twitter and Facebook pages. We’ll note he also was promoting conspiracies about Hunter Biden and Burisma on his Instagram page, so he seemed to be diversifying in the amount of right-wing conspiracies he was peddling.
Billy Earley finished in third place in the primary for California’s 44th Congressional District in the House of Representatives, getting 13% of the vote as the top Republican to run for the seat. We’re not sure if this was a one-off campaign, or if he’s going to continue resurfacing in California elections going forward.
