Trump says "I denounce white supremacy." Guthrie says QAnon is "this theory that Democrats are a Satanic pedophile ring" & that Trump is "the savior of that." Trump says "I know nothing about QAnon" & "I do know they are very much against pedophilia" & "they fight it very hard."
Trump defends retweeting an insane & false conspiracy theory about the Osama bin Laden raid. Trump says "that was a retweet" and "I'll put it out there and people can decide for themselves" and "I don't take a position."
Trump appealed directly to Nancy Pelosi to work out a coronavirus relief deal.

ACB: "I fully understand that this is a momentous decision for a president, and if the Senate does the honor of confirming me, I pledge to discharge the responsibilities of this job to the very best of my ability. I love the United States & I love the United States Constitution."
ACB: "Should I be confirmed, I will be mindful of who came before me. The flag of the United States is still flying at half-staff in memory of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, to mark the end of a great American life..."
