NBC News reports:
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Sunday dodged questions about President Donald Trump’s embrace of QAnon days after the president said followers of the conspiracy theory “love our country.”
“We don’t even know what it is,” Meadows told “Fox News Sunday” after host Chris Wallace asked whether the president would denounce QAnon, which the FBI has labeled a potential domestic terror threat. “It’s not a central part of what the president is talking about,” he added.
“I don’t even know anything about it. I don’t even know if it’s credible. If it’s a hate group, I can tell you that this president is not for hate,” Meadows told “Fox News Sunday.” “Here is what we have to do, I don’t see it as a legitimate thing that we have to address and so, we’re not going to address it.”
Trump’s chief of staff just refused to condemn the toxic and dangerous QAnon conspiracy. In 2019, the FBI classified QAnon as a domestic terrorism threat, but Mark Meadows just said he had to Google the conspiracy to know what it was.https://t.co/MKLLIsMclF

Chris Wallace to Mark Meadows: “Does the president condemn QAnon?” Meadows: “We don’t even know what it is. I had to look it up on Google.” Really? Because one hour earlier on #SOTU Homeland Security director Chad Wolf called it a “terrorist group.”

Don Jr supports these nuts. So does Eric. Flynn took the Q pledge. And they’re always at Trump rallies
Plus, Trump promotes conspiracy theories all the time. He appeared on Alex Jones for G-d’s sake
Now Mark Meadows claims they know nothing about Qanon
