Washington, August 20 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump has openly embraced supporters of the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon, describing them as “people that love our country.”  He also refused to question the central plank of the conspiracy theory when questioned by a reporter.

Reporter: “At the crux of the theory is this belief that you are secretly saving the world from this satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals.  Does that sound like something you are behind?”

President Donald Trump said: “Well, I haven’t — I haven’t heard that, but is that supposed to be a bad thing or a good thing?  I mean, you know, if I can help save the world from problems, I’m willing to do it.”

In related news, Facebook has removed nearly 800 QAnon groups as part of a broader purge.  Facebook also removed several prominent anti-fascist and anarchist pages, including ones connected to the sites CrimethInc.com and ItsGoingDown.org, which criticized the purge, saying: “Suppressing the voices of those who seek to protect their communities from institutional and white supremacist violence is an intentional decision to normalize violence as long as the ones employing it hold institutional power.”
