President Trump dodged a request that he denounce the conspiracy-theory group known as QAnon during a contentious NBC town hall meeting.
Mr. Trump said Thursday: “I know nothing about QAnon,” adding “I do know they are very much against pedophelia." QAnon is a far right-wing, loosely organized network and community of believers who embrace a range of unsubstantiated theories. These views center around the tenet that a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles have long controlled much of the “deep state” government, which they say seeks to undermine Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump previously welcomed the support of followers of the conspiracy theory, saying in August that he knew little about the theory but suggesting that those who subscribe to it are patriots who back his presidency. During the first presidential debate, Mr. Trump was asked if he would condemn white supremacists and militia groups. Mr. Trump responded: “Sure, I’m willing to do that. But I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing, not from the right wing.”
