Is QAnon the Future of the Republican Party?

QAnon is a far-ranging conspiracy theory that alleges, among other things, that a patriotic Trump supporter (or supporters) embedded in the highest levels of the U.S. government has been using internet forums to send coded messages to the American public about a secret plan to arrest and/or execute a global cabal of child-torturing, blood-drinking, satan-worshipping pedophiles.

Guest host Ryan Grim talks to Aída Chávez and the Daily Beast’s Will Sommer about the future of Q.
