When a friend sent her an article about an upcoming political convention in Dallas, the QAnon-linked "For God & Country Patriot Roundup," Colleen Morgan thought the name sounded like a misnomer.
“Patriots are people who love the country, but these people are putting [Former President Donald Trump] above the country, a person above the Constitution,” she said. “They’re not true patriots to me.”
That's why Morgan and other Dallas residents are calling for the convention's cancellation. She hopes a petition she started will help persuade hotels hosting the convention to drop it altogether.
This is an audio adaptation written, recorded and produced by me, based on reporting I did for the Dallas Observer.
