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.”

Do you read?
Bagster and Little Jeremiah, for two.
Trust Sessions and Protect Fraud Huber went on for like 18 months.
Make out it didn’t happen.
You protect those that pinned Trump down for three years.

Seems to me that little Grammie used to say something similar about the Russia hoax against President Trump.
YOU: When I point out Lindsey’s obvious mole activities - the Q Anon peeps attack me over and over.
ME: Name one "Q Anon peep" who ever did that, and give us a link.
Liar, otherwise.
It’s not conspiracy theories, it’s gobbledygook. It’s like listening to a psychic.
What is glaringly obvious is how ridiculous it is to attack Q and Q followers by accusing them of being “violent” “extemist” and “dangerous” while leaving the Antifa/BLM goups alone.
One party discusses God.
One party discusses Darkness.
One party promotes God.
One party eliminates God.
Symbolism will be their downfall.
The Great Deceiver(s).
When was the last time you witnessed a [D] party leader being Patriotic [exhibiting National Pride (love of Country)]?
When was the last time you witnessed a [D] party leader ‘speak out against’ the riots [violence in the streets]?
When was the last time you witnessed a [D] party leader support those who took an oath to protect and defend?
When was the last time you witnessed a [D] party leader support and call for UNITY across our Nation?
ALL ASSETS DEPLOYED.
INFORMATION WARFARE.
INFILTRATION.
DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA.
Have Faith in Humanity.
Have Faith in Yourself.
UNITED WE STAND.
GOD WINS.
Q
Yep. That’s some crazy talk right there.
but they aren’t blackmailed by anyone
don’t think you can say the same, “senator”
sometimes the camera just captures an ineffable quality of someone....
I named two. You don’t read.
Every Freeper knows the Trust Sessions and Protect Fraud Huber went on for well over a year.
Just deny it, peeps know the Truth.
3D CHESS, ANYONE?
We couldn’t hope to understand as each crackpot argument was busted.
‘
‘
Yes.
Bring easily led is not a redeeming quality.

Those rags don’t give up, even now they are fabricating more fictional conspiracies and are targeting at the big bad Q.
.
Sessions stopped a Special Counsel to investigate the Coup and Comey, Strzok, Baker, Ohr, Steele, Halper, and Fusion GPS.
Instead, Sessions our Trusted Obama Appointee Fraud Huber from Utah on the case - and Huber ran out the clock and did nothing while blocking a real Investigation.
Swamp Wins - with Q’s help.

You named ZERO. One more time, for the poster with an IQ of a lettuce sandwich:
YOU: When I point out Lindsey’s obvious mole activities - the Q Anon peeps attack me over and over.
ME: Name one "Q Anon peep" who ever did that, and give us a link.
Liar, otherwise.
I don’t care if they are or are not bat crazy. Why, oh why, would you disenfranchise a million voters, Dumbass? Glad Trump didn’t say that.
Don’t forget those expanded detention facilities at GITMO for all those military tribunals.
