The chair of the Hawaii Republican Party has resigned after the state party's official Twitter account published posts about the unfounded QAnon conspiracy theory.
Shirlene Ostrov's resignation took effect on Sunday. The party's vice chairman for communications, Edwin Boyette, had sent the offending tweets on January 23 and resigned the following day.
Ostrov said she was resigning "to allow the party to recover from the controversy and focus on finding excellent candidates and fighting for policies that improve the quality of life for Hawaii's hardworking families."
