too subtle. he famously told the proud boys to stand back and stand by during the 2020 election and a few weeks later refused to disavow qanon at an nbc news town hall. let me ask you about qanon. it is this theory that democrats are a satanic pedophile ring and that you are the savior of that. now can you just once and for all state that that is completely not true? disavow qanon in its entirety? i know nothing about qanon i just told you. i know very little. 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 pedophelia. they fight it very hard. like i said, we have seen
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 have fight very hard. but do you believe it s a satanic called run by deep states? i ll tell you what, i know about antifa, and i know about the radical left. now, you can see how that went, right? so, at the time, some folks shot that up to trump s refusal which makes sense, someone says is donald trump, like there s this cult of people who believe he s the savior of all mankind. what s he s gonna say? i don t like that. okay, that was passed. but something has changed in the last few weeks. really changed. his embrace of this movement, of this cult has become much more deliberate, much more explicit. trump frequently uses his off brand, twitter platform, sort of, knock off twitter platform to re-post means and other posts that are just explicitly

are following this movement right now? well, i don t know much about the movement, other than i understand they like me very much. which i appreciate. i ve heard these are people that love our country. disavow qanon in its entirety? i know nothing about qanon. i just told you. i know very little. 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. they believe it is a satanic cult run by the deep state. i tell you what i do know about. i know about antifa and i know about the radical left, and i know how violent they are and how vicious they are. so, now, just over two months away from the midterm elections, what is before us is more than an alarming contrast between two major political parties as seen through the actions of their leaders. we are now asking questions we have not had to ask before.
