President Donald Trump has said he believes "very strongly" that one of the main schools of thought in the extremist conspiracy movement, QAnon, is fighting the "deep state" of pedophiles.
"Let me
just say what I've heard about him is strongly against pedophilia, and I agree
with that," Trump said Thursday on NBC's Town Hall program. "And I
strongly agree with that."
QAnon
followers believe Trump is a conspiracy theorist fighting devil-worshiping,
child-abusing Democrats that spread on social media platforms such as
Facebook, Twitter and Google-owned YouTube. In recent weeks, Facebook and
Twitter have cracked down on QAnon. Google's YouTube banned it on Thursday.
During the
town hall, Trump claimed that he knew nothing more about Q-On when today's show
co-anchor Savannah Guthrie asked him to dismiss her.
During a press
conference at the White House in August, Trump also claimed that he did not
know much about QAnon but praised his believers, adding that he had heard that
he "liked me very much." "And" love our country. "
"The
theory is that the Democrats are the devil's pedophile, and you're the
savior," Gutierrez told Trump Thursday. "Now can you just say once
and for all states that it is not entirely true and can completely reject
QAnon?"
Unbelievable. Trump refuses to denounce QAnon and claims that they fight against pedophilia. QAnon is a deranged conspiracy theory!

Trump replied,
"I don't know anything about QAnon." "I know very little."
He added:
"I know they are very much against pedophilia. They fight it very hard.
But I don't know anything about it.
Michael
Jensen, a senior researcher at the University of Maryland, told USA TODY that
QAon benefits from legitimate efforts to address concerns about child
vulnerability and child abuse that expose its broader perspective to unshakable
Americans. ۔
"Child
abuse stories are effective in mobilizing people to support the movement, even
if it is based on conspiracy theories," Jensen said. "We are now
looking at the law with the use of the slogan 'Children, Children', which has
garnered support. From more mainstream, people who do not have to subscribe to
all aspects of the conspiracy.
So insane that @realDonaldTrump claims he does not what QAnon is. Hello? “I have nothing about QAnon. I know they are against pedophilia.” What?

Observers say
baseless claims of pedophilia are creating a toxic mixture of extreme
polarization and partisanship, growing mistrust in government institutions,
epidemic-affected social isolation and immovable online culture that prompts
dangerous misinformation. Can integrate into the national mainstream.
Crimes against
children are the basis of many conspiracy theories because they are so horrific
globally and can explode into national insanities, such as the disappearance of
Lindbergh's child in the 1930s, the assassination of John Bent Ramsey in the
1990s Allegations of sexual trafficking. Emerson Brooking, a resident of the
Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, says the convicted sex the offender is Jeffrey Epstein.
"Presenting
themselves as protectors of children and investigators of unspeakable crimes,
Kevin's followers try to take over the moral high ground. No matter how
horrible they do, they can say that they are doing this for a good cause only.
