Hundreds of QAnon supporters gathered in Dallas in expectation of the return of John F. Kennedy Jr., who they believe would help reinstate former President Donald Trump.

According to Newsweek, a post from a prominent QAnon account claimed that after Trump is reinstated as president, he will step down so Kennedy Jr. can be president. The post also claimed former national security advisor Michael Flynn would become JFK Jr.’s vice president, in turn making Trump the “King of Kings.”

“Frankly, I’m kind of shocked at how many people turned out for this,” Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab resident fellow Jared Holt told The Dallas Morning News. “This wasn’t a widespread belief, even among QAnon followers.”

The first wave of supporters arrived in downtown Dallas on Monday night as another wave gathered the following day near Dealey Plaza, the site of former President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.

JFK Jr. died in 1999, along with his wife and sister-in-law in a plane crash.

The late figure has been popular in the QAnon conspiracy community for years. According to Forbes, in 2019, some believed he would return on July 4 as Trump’s vice president.

One QAnon supporter told the Morning News she believes that both JFK Jr. and his father are still alive and the former president will help kick off the Trump-JFK Jr. administration.

“We’ll figure that something happened in the plan that made it not safe to do it,” Micki Larson-Olson said. “If it doesn’t go down how I believe it will, that’s OK. We’ll figure it just wasn’t the right time.”
