QAnon Followers Are Hijacking the #SaveTheChildren Movement
I take issue with anonymous accusers that proclaim their righteous declarations in cryptic code. No doubt some of their accusations deserve merit. But fanatical followers unable to discern into their own definition of ‘sheeple’, cloud legitimate issues with opportunistic rhetoric, half truths, and often unfounded, undocumented memes and statements.

Oh Gawd, this is from last May, was already debunked, and one must consider the far right source, One America News Network. REALLY?
To nightlight:
It’s not cute to hide behind pseudonyms when making outdated or debunked accusations. Show yourself.
