- Far-right pundits suggested that the "deep state" is targeting Gov. Ron DeSantis and other red states.
- DeAnna Lorraine and Lauren Witzke said a shadowy government group is using "weather manipulation technology."
- The duo said the "deep state" is targeting Florida for lifting vaccine mandates.
Two far-right pundits are spewing baseless a conspiracy theory about "weather manipulation" — claiming that Hurricane Ian was created by the so-called Deep State to target Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other GOP-led states as "punishment."
The comments were made by DeAnna Lorraine and Lauren Witzke, both former GOP congressional candidates, according to
The Independent and
RightWing Watch, a group that monitors right-wing activity.
"We understand that the 'deep state,' they have weather manipulation technology," Lorraine said on her Telegram show, per a clip posted by the group on Friday, referring to the
hurricane that struck the Sunshine State.
