Kara Q Bell is a school board candidate in an affluent suburb of Austin, Texas. She’s also a staunch anti-masker recently charged with assaulting a department store employee and, her critics say, a QAnon conspiracy theorist. If true, she’s part of a wave of QAnon followers seeking political office nationwide.
Bell denies believing in QAnon, a conspiracy theory that a satanic, cannibalistic cabal of pedophiles controls the planet, to whom former President Donald Trump is a sort of messiah fighting the cabal.
“I am not a ‘QAnon,’ whatever that means, my maiden name starts with Q,” Bell told the Daily Dot via text message, which does appear to be true. “Please stop promoting bullying. It’s tearing our community apart and our children deserve better.”

These videos will never cease to amaze me.
Police were called to a situation at a Texas Nordstrom store claiming a woman (Kara Bell) pushed her way into a dressing room without wearing a mask. Once police arrived, Bell refused to cooperate, refused to identify herself and proceeded to lecture the two officers for roughly 5 minutes on the law and how to do their jobs. She ranted about how she was assaulted and wanted to press charges, how she is a woman of God and how it s her God given right to be there.
Bell also launched into a tirade about how there was allegedly another woman who wasn t wearing a mask but she was the only one reported because she is white, claiming racism. After a frustrating back and forth, the officers finally just arrested her, and her reaction is priceless.
