“Do you think this is an attempt to interfere in an election?” he asked Trump. “Because you know, Q can do some crazy stuff with the pizza stuff and the Wayfair stuff but they also uncovered a lot of great stuff when it comes to Epstein and the deep state.”
In a statement provided to Mediaite by Fox News, Watters retracted those comments about QAnon, clarifying that he did not support or believe in the conspiracy theories the group promoted.
“While discussing the double standard of big tech censorship,” said Watters, “I mentioned the conspiracy group QAnon, which I don’t support or believe in. My comments should not be mistaken for giving credence to this fringe platform.”

They know this! They got the flame bait response...winner winner, chicken dinner for Fox...
They can be obnoxiously hateful, condescending, racist, ....then, oh...apologize....This pattern is seen with abusers, verbal, physical abusers....like a couple...abuser is raging out for no reason but blames partner/spouse for something irrelevant/ displaced anger....then, later, apologizes, wants to say I'm sorry, big mistake, won't do it again, kiss and make-up....until the next time. ... Fox News asses do this as do many GOP jerks.
