White House Staff Meadows Mark Meadows had a minor burglary on Fox News Sunday after host Chris Wallace asked him to comment on the embrace of President Donald Trump of the conspiracy group QAnon, which is considered by the FBI to be a domestic terrorist threat. “You can end this controversy right now,” Wallace told his guest. “Mislient the president, is he condemning QAnon?”
Like others in the administration, Meadows pleaded for ignorance about the group – whose supporters falsely claim the president is quietly at war with pedophile Satanists who decide to bring him down – and lied to Wallace to ask for it himself. “You bring it up and it’s ridiculous!” Meadows said. “If you want to talk about conversations, let’s talk back to how the FBI and others in the FBI spied on the Trump campaign.”
When Wallace pointed out that QAnon is considered a “hate group,” Meadows quickly added, “If it’s a hate group, I can tell you that this president is not for hate! That I can tell you that if it’s a hate group, “Let’s take a look at domestic terrorism and look at antifa and a number of other areas and stop spending time on something that 81% of Republicans do not even know what you’re talking about.”
