Editing QAnon (section)

== Incidents and Legacy ==
Labeled as a [[Terrorism|domestic terrorism]] threat by the FBI in 2019, QAnon has been accused of inciting many of their followers to commit criminal acts of violence on numerous occasions, doxxing or threatening healthcare workers and people who oppose Donald Trump (especially the Democrats and the Anti-Trump celebrities), and for infamously participating in the [[2021 United States Capitol storming]]. As a result, several QAnon followers have been arrested and/or charged with those aforementioned crimes, which were incited by the conspiracy theory.

Former United States National Security advisor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Flynn Michael Flynn] and his lawyer, [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Powell Sidney Powell], became avid QAnon espousers until their Twitter accounts were banned. Even though he doesn’t fully know about QAnon, Donald Trump himself has also voiced support for the hate group, claiming that “they are very strongly against pedophilia and I agree with that". He occasionally retweeted several QAnon-affiliated accounts until his suspension. However, he explicitly endorsed them in September 2022 by reposting a photoshop of himself wearing a Q pin on his Truth Social site.

Congresswomen [[Marjorie Taylor Greene]] and [[Lauren Boebert]] have both expressed their support for QAnon.
