Second 2020 Presidential Debate: on Families & Children


Donald Trump: I don't know about QAnon; but I agree on opposing pedophilia

Q: Let me ask you about QAnon. It is this theory that Democrats are a satanic pedophile ring and that you are the savior of. Can you state that that is completely not true?

TRUMP: I know nothing about QAnon.

Q: I just told you.

TRUMP: What you tell me, doesn't necessarily make it fact. I do know they are very much against pedophilia. They fight it very hard. But I know nothing about it. If you'd like me to study the subject--

Q: They believe that there's a Satanic cult run by the deep state.

TRUMP: I'll tell you what I do know about. I know about Antifa--

Q: Republican Senator Ben Sasse said, "QAnon is nuts and real leaders call conspiracy theories."

TRUMP: He may be right.

Q: Why not just say, "it's crazy and not true?"

TRUMP: I just don't know about QAnon. What I do hear about it, is they are very strongly against pedophilia. And I agree with that very strongly.

Q: But there's not a Satanic pedophile cult being?

TRUMP: I have no idea. I know nothing about them.
