Utahns, would you support a congressional representative who proudly proclaimed their belief that the Apollo moon landings were faked? That Earth is flat, stationary and the center of the universe? No? Then why do you allow our representatives to promote equally wacky conspiracy theories as justification for their seditious attempt to erase a national election?
