Ben Sasse Says Trump's QAnon Remarks Will Be Partly to Blame if Dems Retake Senate

Senator Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) slammed President Trump’s remarks on Wednesday in which he seemed to encourage believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Followers of QAnon believe that the U.S. is run by a cabal of pedophiles and cannibals in the Democratic “deep state,” media, and Hollywood, and that Trump is saving the country from that cabal. Trump has congratulated Georgia businesswoman and QAnon believer Marjorie Taylor Greene for winning a Republican congressional primary. The FBI designated QAnon a “domestic terror threat” in 2019 because of what the agency said was the potential for the theory to drive adherents to acts of violence.

“I don’t know much about the movement; I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate,” Trump said at a Wednesday press conference when asked by a reporter for his views on the theory. “I heard these are people that love our country.”

“QAnon believes you are secretly saving the world from this cult of pedophiles and cannibals. Are you behind that?” the reporter continued.

I do believe he was behind it. I'm pretty sure the RNC psy-ops team started QAnon as a way to get out in from of the pedophile story by concocting this "anonymous person with "top secret" clearances" who then starting making wild ass predictions about impending arrests of Democrats involved in world-wide sex trafficking.

Hell, Putin probably explained to Trump how to do it. They both knew that the typical Trump voter would believe anything nonsensical if it attacked the Democrats.

It’s troll job from 8Chan that suckers, morons, and (sadly) some mentally unstable people decided to actually believe. Which was the whole point. I doubt they thought it would get this far, though.

8chan would be the perfect inflection point. Pick-up and feed to the RW blogosphere and, presto, you have a movement.

The more his worshippers kiss it, the more visions they have. It's like licking one of those psychedelic toads.

I dunno. That's what some very fine people are saying.
