A thread.
So, this statement doesn't really stand up to even scrutiny, especially since Watters already did a segment about QAnon last December.

#1) This wasn't the first time that @JesseBWatters did anything related to QAnon. In December 2019, he did an entire segment devoted to QAnon. It was entirely uncritical.
The Q crowd loved the segment. Prominent Q advocates viewed it as a significant moment of exposure.

#2) Jesse said he did the segment because a friend of his is a big QAnon advocate, so the reason he did the segment was because of him.
Did he do the segment to debunk or undermine the theory? Nope. He did it to give it exposure. Plain and simple.

#3) “One of my good friends is a Q guy. He’s always telling me, ‘Q said this, Q said this. You have got to look into this. Epstein and it’s all connected. So, I thought we would look into it.”
#4) During the segment, Watters tried to downplay some of the more dangerous parts about QAnon and frame it more as just a movement that is focused on defending Trump from unfair deep state attacks.
