ITV News published this video item, entitled “What is QAnon and how did their presence dominate at the riot on the US Capitol? | ITV News” – below is their description.
The storming of the Capitol Building might have looked like a spur of the moment outpouring of anger – albeit fomented by President Trump.
It was, security experts believe, nothing of the sort. It had been planned for weeks – which of course begs a question as to why the authorities didn’t know, or if they did, why they let it go so far.
Among the protesters were members of a group of conspiracy theorists called QAnon. It has been able to flourish in the atmosphere of dubious reality surrounding the Trump presidency.
