QAnon, a subset of Trump supporters known for spouting wild conspiracy theories about global pedophile rings, now believe that John F. Kennedy Jr., who died in a plane crash in 1999, is still alive and secretly attending Trump rallies.
Travis View, who follows and frequently comments on developments within the QAnon community, notes that many QAnon followers were particularly excited this week to see Pennsylvania Trump supporter Vincent Fusca show up at one of the presidents rallies.
The reason this caused such excitement, View explains, is that QAnon supporters believe that Fusca is actually JFK Jr., as documented by the tweets below.
NBC News reporter Ben Collins notes that the theory about Vincet Fusca being JFK Jr. has taken off like wildfire on YouTube, where typing in JFK Jr. will result in autocomplete results that include Fusca as one of the top choices. Additionally, searching for only JFK Jr. on YouTube turns up a slew of QAnon conspiracy videos.

One video linking Fusca to JFK Jr. has more than 110,000 views so far and others that show up in search results have also racked up tens of thousands of views.

How are some people so foolish? That guy does not look anything like JFK Jr. Is this another example of Republicans claiming to hate all things liberal, but really seeking the approval of liberals?

A better conspiracy theory would be the Rs killed him - he is the one American born who could have the Presidency just for running - ever notice they let him live until he was over 35?
