McEnany says Trump does not support QAnon following president's first comment about conspiracy group
Fox News ^ | August 20, 2020 | Caleb Parke

Posted on 08/20/2020 12:25:25 PM PDT by familyop

McEnany replied..."He's not in the business of 'basket of deplorable' politics. He doesn't talk about QAnon. He doesn't think about it."...McEnany said, "He has not at all looked into who QAnon is," calling it "some group on the internet..."...Until Wednesday, the president had remained silent on the conspiracy -- twice ignoring a question last week about whether he supports QAnon and in 2018 then-White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump “condemns and denounces any group that would incite violence against another individual."

The headline is quite different from what the article says. Another AP fake news special?

Let me take out my Q decoder...

Oh, she's saying that we should "Trust Q".

Of course.

The article was referring to “America’s Newsroom” with Sandra Smith. And yes, the headline is certainly in agreement with the content of the article. Follow the link to read for yourself, if you’re in doubt or denial.

Also, from the White House press briefing yesterday,...

“Q Okay. And then I want to follow up with a question that I asked the President last week but he didn’t answer. I asked him about QAnon. So I wanted to know: Have you ever heard the President talk about QAnon? And what does he think of the conspiracy theory?

MS. MCENANY: No, I’ve never heard of that. There’s a lot of media focus on that, but certainly never heard of that from the President.”

See that here.

Thank you for providing the actual facts.

Ignore the headline. There are real quotes in the article.

You can dig all year, and you will not find a single post from Q where Q advocated violence against anyone. You can look at all 4600 plus Q drops and not find such an advocacy. Not once.

Trump’s answer, which doesn’t contradict what McEnany says here, was great.

When reminded by a reporter for NBC News that the movement’s followers believe he is fighting to stop a satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals, he asked: “Is that supposed to be a bad thing?”

NBC thinks fighting to stop satanic pedophiles and cannibals would be bad.

Perfect response.

Yes. Some of the extremes of confirmation bias have been amazing. Here's something that I found with a quick search recently.

POTUS has no need to “look into QAnon”. POTUS has no need to discuss Q with McEnany, either.

If Q is who they are believed to be, military intelligence is not fodder for the White House Press Snakes Corp.

The diversion tactic is the best bone these subversive reporterettes are ever going to get tossed. At least, for right now.

So fun to see them play chase-and-fetch with their dresses over their heads, and in masks.

The folks who follow Q are going to be demoralized to read something negative from the MSM which is a lie. It's easy to fool them. They never suspect that the MSM lies. Especially not Fox News. Never.

You certainly can’t say the same about the once rabid q supporters who used to routinely threaten the non believers right here on Free Republic. So don’t even bother denying it because we all recall how virulent you people were when you thought you were one step away from throwing anyone into gitmo.

The reason the FBI created their briefing paper was the repeated violent acts carried out by the mentally unstable q anon flowers who cited q as a justification.

So spare us the spin.

The pathological liars of the msm would never lie to us.

The FBI intelligence bulletin from the bureau’s Phoenix field office, dated May 30, 2019 fell apart into flimsy little propaganda pieces when analyzed. The sources cited in the document's footnotes included the fact that the FBI's investigative involvement was "limited" but provided open source information (i.e., no authorized investigation?), MSM outlets and, I kid you not, "members of the public whose reliability cannot be determined."

Oh, they cite law enforcement and other sources who, since 2014, have many instances of corroboration. Since Q did not start posting until fall of 2017, the source in the FBI document, along with law enforcement are claimed to underpin "key analytic findings" (analytic findings about extremism in general - not evidence of any kind re Q Anon).

I did see a post saying the bulletin also cited Snopes and Wikipedia but since I can't find the whole document anymore, I can't verify that. Here's an excerpt:

The posted article was removed from news, extended and elections and put into chat, even though it was front page at Fox News and important to the reelection of President Trump.
