Trump appears to embrace QAnon more directly

In recent days, former President Donald Trump has appeared to embrace the conspiracy group QAnon. On his social media platform, he posted a picture of himself wearing a QAnon button and the phrase “the storm is coming.” And at a rally in Ohio this weekend, music resembling the QAnon theme song played as Trump delivered a dark address.

Here & Now‘s Peter O’Dowd talks with Mia Bloom, a professor at Georgia State University who has studied QAnon and recently wrote the book “Pastels and Pedophiles: Inside the mind of QAnon.”
