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 people’s fears, that compels them to do things they normally wouldn’t do. And it’s 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. That’s 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.”

He did not.
He said he didn't know 'much' about it but that we Q people were great patriots, supported him, and love America. So he does know about it.
He went on to say that his going after "satanic, pedophile cannibals" is not a bad thing.
You need to educate yourself and stop making things up if you want to be taken seriously in a discussion.
If Q was really doing what you think they claim they are, they’d be stupid to tweet it out publicly.
QAnon reads like something written by a teenager in a basement. Not a positive for us -at best a distraction-lefties love it cuz it makes trump supporters seem nuts
No, they'd be very smart.
For example.
What are we talking about this very moment? We are talking about the "Q movement".
Think about what that means.
The more we talk about it, Senators, Representatives, Presidents, mainstream fake news media, the more people are aware of it. The more people will look at it. The more people will be aware of the deep state corruption, manipulations, control, and indoctrination that the world has been subject to for lo these past decades, if not hundreds of years.
That is what Qanon is all about. A GREAT AWAKENING.
An awake public is what the derp state fears most. That is why we are seeing derps like Graham, Jeb Bush, fake news, and all manner of derps attacking the movement.
That is the worth of Q.
And the truth.
People on our side that get in the way of that are doing the work of the derp state. And they should stop.
If you think that, then you don't know Q at all.
Not a positive for us -at best a distraction
A distraction from what? Sitting on our ass absorbing what the deep state feeds us? Voting for the derp flavor of the month? The Jeb Bush's, McCains, Doles, and Romney's of the world because they are 'conservatives'?
I'll take the distraction, thank you.
-lefties love it cuz it makes trump supporters seem nuts
Since when do we care what lefties love? Isn't it time we started creating the narrative?
Notice how all these articles cherry pick just one as[ect of the things discussed by Q, as if international child sex trafficking is the most outrageous, unbelievable thing possible, and anybody who believes its a thing has to be a lunatic.
As child sex trafficking networks are rolled up in numbers never before seen across the world. As Epstein is exposed. As NXIVM is exposed. As British royalty, celebrities, politicians, and powerful elites across the world are tied to it.
Its like as if none of that stuff is happening just because the media doesn't emphasize it.
Me? I believe my own eyes, thanks anyway derp media.
Another lie that finds its way into every anti-Q propaganda piece.
One memo from one field agent in the the Phoenix office does not set FBI policy.
But this lie is necessary for them to be able to call for the silencing of the movement due to its 'violence'.
Do you see what's going on here?
"Pizzagate" did not originate with Qanon. It originated from Wikileaks release of Podesta emails and related materials.
I'd like to see Graham explain those emails.
And they always say that Hillary was running a pedo ring out of a pizza parlor.
No, that's not the theory. The pedo stuff is not confined to one pizza parlor. That is just one venue that participated in that type of activity.
But they always try to contain it there, because its much easier for them to 'debunk' and make sound ridiculous.
Do you see what's going on here?
Anyone that goes to 4chans very quickly realizes it’s some whacked out site with 0 credibility. 0 chance for any awakening there.
You can also get your anti jew stuff there as well as your porn and anime. After 3 years of this Q nonsense you have the same couple hundred thousand people that were into it from day 1. There has not and will not be any great awakening.
Some of you think your privy to some special information before everyone else.
1st) when the info is wrong you reply with some of the stuff has to be disinformation to throw off the other side. LOL.
and 2nd) There’s just nothing of any importance that was ever posted that wasn’t available somewhere else on the web 1st.
Epstein? he was known about since before his trial in FL. Nothing new ever came from Q about him.
Military tribunals? LMAO. Q followers will believe anything.
So much nonsense and yet at the end of this conversation the same people will keep on believing never understanding that the entire Q movement looks like some lunatics were released from the asylum.
Anyone that goes to 4chans very quickly realizes it’s some whacked out site with 0 credibility. 0 chance for any awakening there.
You're right about that. You can find just about anything on the chans. They have little to no 'moderation' and believe very strongly in the free expression of ideas, even if some of those ideas are ugly.
Credibility is, as it should be, conferred on a case by case basis.
And why is there a GREAT AWAKENING if there is zero chance?
After 3 years of this Q nonsense you have the same couple hundred thousand people that were into it from day 1. There has not and will not be any great awakening.
You spelled 'millions' wrong. And not just in this country, but across the world. Anti-derps everywhere are awake thanks to Q.
I would think a patriot like you would be in support of any such GREAT AWAKENING. Are you not?
Some of you think your privy to some special information before everyone else.
Only because we are.
Do you know that we knew about the secret North Korea talks as they were happening? The same talks that laid the groundwork for the public events we all saw on t.v.?
That's just one thing 'we' knew before the people that didn't participate in the Q operation did. There is much more.
Would like to know more? Its not too late.
Some of you seem so pissed off that 'we' claim to know things you don't know. You take it so personally. Why?
You could just as easily know the same stuff.
You can choose to know. But you cannot choose to not know and then throw a fit because you didn't. Its not our fault.
and 2nd) There’s just nothing of any importance that was ever posted that wasn’t available somewhere else on the web 1st.
This is partially true.
Much of what is gleaned from Q is open source. But its the seeking it out, finding it, putting it together, and applying to past, current and future events that is what the Q process is all about.
And there is plenty of original programming, not available elsewhere. The North Korea thing is just one example. Original intelligence photographs are another.
Epstein? he was known about since before his trial in FL. Nothing new ever came from Q about him.
Again, partially right. The first Epstein trial in Florida took place before Q went to work. Then it was buried.
What Q did was expose the entire extent of the operation, including named associates and 'customers' which weren't available ever before. He got the conversation and the digging started.
And Trump's DOJ took action. That's when the media couldn't bury it any more and people not plugged into Q became aware.
To say anything different is to justify the wrongness you people have had regarding Q by pretending you "knew all along" what you didn't know all along.
Military tribunals? LMAO.
Why is that so laughable? Do you consider it outside the realm of possibility?
That would be an ignorant opinion.
So much nonsense and yet at the end of this conversation the same people will keep on believing never understanding that the entire Q movement looks like some lunatics were released from the asylum.
Yes, that is what you see the derp media and derp politicians trying to convince people of right now.
And you join them. They appreciate the help.
In summation, you have no idea of that which you speak. Like most anti-Q bots, you pick a couple of issues of the hundreds maybe thousands of topics Q has covered, and go full Alinsky on them. You isolate and ridicule. In that way and in your mind, the entirety of Trump's Q operation can be dismissed.
I, for one, am immune to that tactic. Because I've seen the entirety of Q and gone over it with a fine tooth comb. If it were fake or non-credible, I'd be among the first to know.
Should that day ever come, I'll be the first to let you know.
But that day will never come.
Sorry to tell ya.
Us talking about it wouldn’t help them at all. Unless you just believe in Kardashianism.
Kardashianism: The phenomenon that states that a person can go from obscurity to global recognition by making a series of self-promoting actions.
Would you say that describes your "Kardashianism"?
Okay. Now that we have defined terms, then yes. Q has and is a form of "Kardashianism", and purposefully so.
Donald Trump and the co-authors of Q, used psychology to gain a wide and ever growing audience. To the point that The President of the United States, Senators, and other high level politicians and people of power, are discussing it on National television.
Millions of people across the world read with anticipation, the latest Q scribblings. And they talk about it amongst themselves.
What a valuable tool that must be for a President, intent on bypassing a traitorous media which has molded the message for decades in furtherance of the deep state agenda.
Yes. Kardashianism. I like that.
Good one.
I remember people on this site saying that about Trump. He was supposed to be on Team Hillary and setting up the GOP.
Thank you Bags.
Excellent and entertaining and vitally important work, as usual!
I’ve been off chasing Chinese Tweets since Chen Guangcheng spoke at
the convention.

It’s remarkable to live in a time where our tools can do a decent job of
translation. I hate what Google (and Twitter) have become, but google
translating Tweets is a most interesting exercise.
From apparent CCP true believers admonishing ex-pat freedom fighting
patriots about proper Group Think, to fully QAnon aware Chinese Tweeters
spreading the Great Awakening.
(Without quite the push-back you are getting right here in this thread...;-))
Recognition of the machinations of, and of the real existence of a malignant
global “Derp” state has circled the globe, and the remarkably well informed
hopes the WORLD rest upon America and President Donald J. Trump.
I found it tearfully humbling to see so many prayers that America and
Americans would triumph over our enemies foreign, domestic and spiritual,
and bring freedom, liberty, and the prize of peace to the planet.
~Easy
It’s hard to be sure, because the translation isn’t THAT good, but one
“CCP “true believer” may have been mocking and sarcastic while actually
celebrating their newfound “individual” voice. You decide...
“... which is more in line with the positive energy of American heroism culture. ”...
~~~~~~~~~
“ Sister Feng should not use the word “positive energy”. There is no
difference between positive and negative energy. The most commonly used
word is Xi Jinping Communist Party.”
My point.
It is known.
