The Republican Party of Orange County is promoting a fundraiser by a local GOP women’s group that will feature Judy Mikovits, a disgraced scientist who has gained a national following in conservative circles for sharing misinformation about the coronavirus.
The group, which promotes conservative causes and local GOP candidates, didn’t respond to requests to speak for this story. “It’s like a church service ending with ‘go and spread the word,’” said Jodi Balma, a professor of political science at Fullerton College. Except, “here, it’s preaching to the choir and spreading dangerous misinformation.”
That’s why Weatherall said it’s so important for people in those social networks to speak out against misinformation when they see it, rather than to help create new networking opportunities for false claims to spread.
