White House chief of staff Mark Meadows got into a heated exchange with Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" over QAnon.
Days after President Donald Trump said in a White House press briefing that followers of the right-wing conspiracy group "love our country," Wallace pressed Meadows on the group the FBI has labeled a domestic terror threat.
"Does the president disavow, does he condemn QAnon?" Wallace asked.
Meadows told Wallace he finds it "appalling" that he brought up the topic when there is a litany of other issues to address, claiming he had to use Google to actually "figure out what it is."
The conspiracy movement, which has been tied to several violent incidents and believes without evidence that Trump is fighting an evil "deep state" of elite figures, is not a "top 20 priority" for the administration, Meadows said.
"If you want to talk about conspiracies, let's get back to talking about how the FBI and others within the FBI spied on the Trump campaign," Meadows said. "If it's a hate group, I can tell you this president is not for hate!"
