DONIE O'SULLIVAN (CORRESPONDENT): One of the ways that we found you was you were on this list pulled together by the liberal group Media Matters. They identify you as a QAnon candidate. Are you a QAnon candidate?
DARLENE SWAFFAR: You know, I don't know anything about that. I have no idea what they're talking about. There's zero evidence.

SWAFFAR: Yeah, I think we're definitely focused on uncovering the truth. We want to know what corruption's going on in our country.
