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.
No.
That is the thinking of a child.
Occam’s Razor
By the way, Trump made fun of QAnon last week.
Q isn't in the catching bad guys business.
Its in the communication and intelligence business.
Its good to understand what you're talking about before you talk about it.
No, we should makes posts about it.
Just like this one.
No.
No.
The chans are where Q posts.
Anyone that has forgotten all the years goober spent with McQueeg should start remembering them and soon. Linda is deep state and has been for some time.
Yes he should.
And he should go over every Q posting and check them for accuracy.
And do it on t.v. He could have General Flynn and Admiral Rogers testify.
What would Occam’s Razor say about General Flynn taking part of Q’s “take a pledge” campaign followed by Q’s slogan “where we go one we go all?”
We were talking about Clinesmith well before the Horowitz report came out.
Qbots are miles ahead of you people who have to wait for public reports or 'legitimate' media sources to tell you stuff.
And you know this to be true.
Example: Epstein Island.
Thank you.
Ooo, Ooo. I do, I do.
Its more likely they attack you because you are the king of the nabobs.
Only because it was a fake.
I found out and then remembered that the investigation into Killary, emails and Klinton Foundation was taken over by Durham.
So it’s not over.
Not if you're a smart and clever fellow.
But I understand why you would say that.
Think about that.
Telling a lie over and over does not make it true.
We know what Graham is. Why would we attack you for attacking him.
Make that make sense.
Liar.
I nominate you as the biggest anti-Q, anti Trump propagandist on Free Republic.
You're almost like a professional. And very hard working.
