The Florida SWAT team member who appeared in photos with Vice President Pence while wearing a patch promoting the “QAnon” theory has been disciplined.
The Miami New Times reported on Monday that Matt Patten, a member of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office’s SWAT team, was reprimanded and demoted from the SWAT team and the county’s Office of Homeland Security.
