A Hew Hampshire state representative resigned Thursday after alleging that the Boston Marathon bombing was a government conspiracy, WMUR reported.

State Rep. Stella Tremblay (R) sent in her letter of resignation to the New Hampshire House of Representatives a day after she sent an e-mail blast to colleagues with links to Boston Marathon bombing conspiracy blogs and videos.

“Have you seen ANY main stream media doing a follow-up on these stories? I have not. I just connect the dots,” wrote Tremblay in the e-mail, according to WMUR. “Apparently, it is very dangerous to seek truth, or ask questions.”

Tremblay first floated her theory that the marathon bombings were planted by the government to sideline civil liberties in April. Her colleagues in the House responded by voting to fully rebuke her remarks.
