Refuses to disavow QAnon during NBC Town Hall

In a combative town hall with Savannah Guthrie (held in place of the canceled debate), Trump claimed "I know nothing about QAnon" when asked to disavow the conspiracy theory, but immediately added, "I do know they are very much against pedophilia." Guthrie retorted, "You're not like someone's crazy uncle who can just retweet whatever," highlighting his responsibility for spreading disinformation.
