The chairwoman of Hawaii’s Republican Party has resigned because of a series of posts on the party’s Twitter account that promoted the QAnon movement.

Shirlene DelaCruz Ostrov, who has served four years as the local GOP head, has stepped down “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,” the party said in a statement.
