President Trump on Thursday refused to disavow QAnon during an NBC News town hall, saying he knows nothing about it beyond that supporters of the theory are “strongly against pedophilia.”
Trump was asked by host Savannah Guthrie to disavow the conspiracy theory, after she described it as a theory about Democrats being a satanic pedophile ring.
“I know nothing about QAnon. I know very little,” Trump said. “You told me but what you tell me doesn’t necessarily make it fact. I hate to say that.”
"I know nothing about it. I do know they are very much against pedophilia, they fight it very hard. But I know nothing about it,” Trump continued.
When Guthrie noted that Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said QAnon is “nuts” and that “real leaders call conspiracy theories conspiracy theories,” Trump again said claimed to have no knowledge about the theory.
“He may be right. I just don’t know about QAnon,” Trump said.
“You do know,” Guthrie pressed.
“I don’t know,” Trump continued.
QAnon is a far-right conspiracy theory whose followers believe that an underground cabal of Satanic worshipers run child sex trafficking rings and are in control of the so-called “deep state” government and that Trump is working to expose them.

The best answer, IMHO, would have been .. “QAnon is just an idea”.
“Lol who the hell cares about Qanon.”
On the list of 100 Voter Concerns this is down around 699.
Linking Democrats and Pedophiles is a winner for Trump.
When we had a mortgage on our house, we had no assets.
He asked Guthrie if she knew what underleveraged meant....she said yes...but you know damn well she was lying.
I wont disavow QAnon either. I don’t have 400 hours to devote to researching a conspiracy theory.
I truly don’t know enough about it and I truly don’t care.
Like most conspiracy theories, there’s likely some truth to it and some insanity. Don’t waste your time trying to get me to listen because I won’t
as expected, all the FakeNewsMSM is going with QAnon:
16 Oct: BBC: US election: Trump declines to disavow QAnon conspiracy theory
Asked by the moderator at the primetime event in Miami whether he would repudiate the bizarre online claims, he said he did not know anything about it.
In a simultaneous town hall debate in Philadelphia, his Democratic challenger Joe Biden declined to divulge his plans for the Supreme Court.
Opinion polls indicate Mr Biden has a solid lead over Mr Trump, a Republican...
When NBC moderator Savannah Guthrie asked Mr Trump on Thursday night whether he would reject the group, he replied: “I know nothing about QAnon.”
Ms Guthrie said she had just told him about the group.
The president said: “You told me, but what you told me doesn’t necessarily make it fact. I hate to say that.
“I know nothing about it, I do know they are very much against paedophilia, they fight it very hard.”
Mr Trump instead targeted antifa, a loose-knit movement of mainly far-left activists blamed by the US Department of Justice for civil disorder in US cities during racial justice protests over the last few months.
“I tell you what I do know about,” said Mr Trump, “I know about antifa and the radical left and I know how violent they are and how vicious they are and I know how they’re burning down cities run by Democrats.”...
The back and forth continued as Ms Guthrie challenged Mr Trump: “You do know [about QAnon].
“I don’t know,” he said...

the white supremacist replay, for the zillionth time, was the lowest point, though. am already hearing pundits suggest Guthrie may not have known of all the previous disavowals, but that’s absurd. of course, she knows. FakeNewsMSM will never give up this meme.
Trump was great nonetheless.
Why are they so worried about an anonymous poster on a message board? What is it about millions of people around the world saying “Where we go one, we go all!” that bothers them? We will see!
“They do, because what Q says is true.”
Who the hell can understand what Q says?
a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma
she described it as a theory about Democrats being a satanic pedophile ring.
*****************************************************************************************
I don’t think that is an accurate summation of QANON. For one thing, QANON is believed to be a group of people. People may have various theories but people are NOT theories.
For another, QANON mostly asks questions and asks people to do the research and draw their own conclusions. QANON is not responsible for theories which are wrong or right. The people spouting their theories are responsible for their own research and theories.
If anything, I would describe QANON as being a group of individuals participating in a PSYOPS to get people to search for the truth instead of automatically and simplistically accepting the narrative being pushed by LSM and lying politicians. And it ain’t limited to satanism or pedophiles. Just my 2 cents.
And by the way, Satanism exists-courts have ruled that it is a religion. There are a number of Satanic temples in the USA and they are planning on building more. At least One Satanic group was seen marching with the Dem/BLM groups.
Pedophiles do exist at many levels and some are quite wealthy and influential-Jeffrey Epstein is one of the best known. I don’t think anyone who has researched the issues would claim Democrats are the only wrong doers - and again the wrong doing encompasses a lot of areas-not just the Satanic or Pedos.
The weird stuff about Q comes from the Chan’s. It’s surrounded by that crap. But if you only read Q posts here, you never see that crap.
I blame Q Anon for the basil shortages that spread systemic racism throughout our cities.
Q anon = Meh.
Yeh, I mostly stay away from the Chans. Heavily infiltrated with posters deliberately trying to create chaos, anti-semetic, and ugly disinformation.
Good one.
Gotta love this little exchange:
POTUS: I know nothing about Qanon
Guthrie: I just told you.
POTUS: You told me, but what you tell me doesn’t necessarily make it fact.
He simply did not take the bait.
Perfectly stated
Someone needs to clip her saying “Democrats are Satanists” and put it on infinite loop...
Thank you. The media servants of the derp state have great fear of this worldwide phenomena. To the point that schiff— the fakir of impeachment is having an open session of the House Intel Committee on “conspiracy theories”. Because Schiff and his paedo pals have real fear of this “idea”... but not the “idea” of AntiFA, that murdered a man in cold blood last weekend in Denver.
Another good exchange:
POTUS: But let me just tell you, what I do hear about it [Qanon] is they are very strongly against pedophilia, and I agree with that. I mean I do agree with that.
Guthrie: But there’s not a satanic pedophile cult being run by [Deep State Democrats] ….
POTUS: I have no idea. I know nothing about that.
Guthrie(incredulously): You don’t know that?
POTUS: No I don’t know that, and neither do you know that.
... I recognize the patterns of speech from the Anon board...

I’ve seen few posted screen shots of Anon boards, but hadn’t recognized any speech (writing?) patterns.
Could you give some examples, or even a few generalities would help those of us not that familiar with autists?
