Did Trump really refuse to denounce QAnon at last night's "Town Hall Meeting"? Or is this more Lefty propaganda?

I got this on one of my new feeds this morning: "Conspiracist-in-Chief President Donald Trump refused to reject fake QAnon theories peddled by right-wing internet groups during a town hall Thursday where the nature of a format he had picked over a traditional debate with Democratic rival Joe Biden appeared to work against him." QAnon (a term I rarely use) is associated (in my mind) with nut jobs like Alex Jones. Is this really true, or is it "fake news," perpetrated by the Left-slanted media. Sigh. It means more work for me. I'll have to see what FOX and Brietbart say about it. Apparently Trump and Biden held separate town hall meetings last night, on separate networks. I didn't watch either. Your thoughts?

I saw the video of it. He kept saying that he didn't know anything about them and then he said he agrees with their anti-pedophilia stance.

Playing dumb is easy for him. Most of us have heard of "conspiracy theories."

@much2say He does not want to alienate those who might vote for him, even if they're nutcases.

My thoughts? I wish there was a button that I could push that says “I’ve already voted, now turn this crap off for me!”

@myklj999 I already saw your ballot in a dumpster. So you can "claim" you voted for Trump.

This one backfired on orange head among other things. Can't believe anything that comes out of him.

@TheHorse orange head has said that if he loses he will be leaving, I wonder where he will go. Not that I care but these statements of his are not helping his campaign at all.

CBS Sunday Morning explained it ... it's basically an anonymous guy who calls himself (or group who all call themselves) Q, who propose that--among other things--Trump is trying to protect America against a bunch of Satanist Obama-holdovers.

LOL! I thought Obama was a decent President. Does that mean I have to throw away my St. Francis (my favorite Saint, because he loved animals and was an advocate for the poor) and replace him with a statue of Satan? Heck, I'm trying to save money right now.

He said he didn't know anything about them and the host tried to push him on it. He repeated he did not know anything about them. So yeah they are making up their own scenario yet again.

@TheHorse I think they are a sports team, . I don't follow sports either. If they aren't then I don't even know that much.

Yes, they had separate Town Hall Meetings because Trump refused to do a virtual debate. I don't know enough about QAnon to comment.

If you're interested, just look up Alex Jones. I hadn't thought much about it until fairly recently.

It seems that there will be no more news online about vaccines or about political news from the US. The web will consider it all fake news.
