Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called the QAnon conspiracy theory that has been spread by some Republican congressional candidates batshit crazy.
Well, QAnon is batshit crazy, Graham told Snapchat's Peter Hamby in an interview that aired Thursday.
Crazy stuff. Inspiring people to violence. I think it is a platform that plays off peoples fears, that compels them to do things they normally wouldnt do. And its very much a threat.
Once a fringe movement, the QAnon conspiracy has gained traction in recent years, with some congressional candidates expressing support of its claims.
The theory suggests that Trump and his allies are trying to uncover a group of Democrats, media figures and celebrities who are operating an international child sex trafficking scheme.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has previously endorsed the theory, won the Republican primary in Georgia's 14th District earlier this month, leading GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) to demand leaders denounce the movement.
Greene has since distanced herself from theory, which the FBI has labeled as a potential domestic terrorism threat.
Graham suggested repealing the protections offered to social media platforms under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields platforms from facing liability for the content posted by its users and the good-faith efforts they make to moderate it.
QAnon is not itself a social media site, but its supporters gather on multiple social media platforms, though Twitter and Facebook have made efforts to remove them.
Graham pointed to "Pizzagate," a related conspiracy theory that claims Hillary Clinton and other top Democratic figures were running a child sex trafficking ring beneath a pizza shop in Washington, D.C. In December 2016, a man fired a gun in the Comet Ping Pong pizza shop in D.C., claiming he was there to self-investigate" the claims.
But the pizza owner, under my theory, could sue QAnon for passing along garbage. Thats a pretty dramatic step, Graham said. But the only way I know to make people more responsible who run these websites is to allow lawsuits when they go too far.
If you think Lindsey Graham is on our side, you are headed for a heart break.
Ah, little Tony Smarty Pants! Did you not know that when you mention FReepers in a comment, you should out of courtersy ping them?
Are people who read Free Republic “adherents” of Free Republic? Are people who watch, for instance, FOX news “adherents” of FOX news? Is there some secret membership or oath of which I am unaware?
You keep saying that Huber is a fraud. I’m really interested about your inside sources, how you actually know this. Please reveal what info you have on what Huber is or is not up to. Since you keep saying this, you should be able to post your insider info on the thread.
There’s a difference between “liar” and “illiterate”. Especially a liar who’s rooting for the other team.
Sessions stopped a special counsel on the coup traitors for very good reasons. Special counsels are retard trains to nowhere and leak like sieves.
Speaking of leaking like sieves, I’m waiting for you to tell us all how you what Huber is up to or not up to.
..... tap tap tap ...........
Have you ever read any Q messages? Not what people say about Q messages, the messages themselves?
I don’t think my comments would give anyone the impression that I have respect or trust in Graham. He sometimes says or does the right thing, most likely if it suits his purposes. And other times, he says and does things that are completely wrong. He is slippery and untrustorthy, imho. Most likely leveraged/blackmailed.
Yes, I did. They posted them here.
Q adherent,
If youre still defending Fraud Huber, youre too far gone.
You still believe the Secret Indictments at Gitmo?
Id be pissed too, if I went around attacking peeps that criticized Lindsey Graham only to find out Lindsey thinks youre a Kook!
Tough day for you.
Little Tony - where’s your evidence that Huber is a fraud? Did I defend Huber? Did I give my POV about Huber? No, I did not. I’m asking you about your assertions. Maybe you have some wretched itching skin disease or something and that is why you’re always so irritable and in a bad humor.
Oh, and I’m waiting for your evidence that Huber is a fraud............. tap tap tap tap
“Here”? How many did you read? You didn’t read on one of the sites that has just the messages?
Apparently, it is to some.
Are we playing 3D Chess no one could hope to understand?
The proof is in the pudding - Huber was replaced after he sat on the case and did absolutely nothing but block.
Is Jeff Sessions still our secret weapon?
Look, call me what you want.
Ill move on and be polite.
all that Q anon is about is corruption in political office and the use blackmail in politics. the only thing fallowers Q does is disseminate information from public sources...we will use the power of the vote and the justice system on those crimes that can be proven to get rid of the corruption. we do not protest in the streets the number of active researchers is limited. Government is scared of this spread of information that normally would be hiden by media companies. most who fallow the W posts are not researchers but individuals that want to be informed voters and want all voters to be informed.
Oh, so you have no evidence whatsoever about what Huber is doing or not doing.
So you are lying.
Surprise, surprise.
Hmm, I looked up and found Huber did not charge Killary with anything. That is definitely bad news. So, I learned something I did not know.
So, you are correct about Huber and I was wrong.
I admit when I am wrong. Unlike some people...
You just make schifft up, soprano.
Us Q bolts know Graham is derp state. That's exactly why he's going hard at Q.
Please stop saying ignorant things.
What, like vote against derps like you?
Learn about your scumbaggery?
Those kinda things?
