Eighteen congressmen refuse to condemn QAnon

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to condemn QAnon on Friday, but the online movement’s identification as a potential terrorist threat by the FBI failed to sway 18 members.

Seventeen Republicans and one Independent voted against the resolution which was introduced by Democrat representative Tom Malinowski of New Jersey, and GOP lawmaker Denver Riggleman of Virginia.

The pro-Trump movement promotes a wide range of conspiracy theories about the “deep state” in the US government involving Satan worship, child sex trafficking, and many other baseless accusations.

President Donald Trump called its followers “people that love our country” and they are often a vocal presence at his campaign events.
