Those moderators are not alone. Far right figures have almost uniformly begun to disparage the theory. Rick Wiles, host of the Christian survivalist radio show "Trunews," recently called Qanon "a big lie," according to Right Wing Watch, which tracks far-right media. Wiles propagates other theories such as a coming civil war started by liberals.
Evangelical preacher Lance Wallanau, who recently called Rush Limbaugh a "secular prophet," said people need to be "a special kind of dumb" to believe the theory.
Other more mainstream Republican pundits have also spoken out publicly against Qanon, highlighting just how widespread the theory has become — and that they aren't happy with how it reflects on Trump supporters.
Infowars founder Alex Jones once promoted the theory, but then told his followers that it had been compromised.
"Stick a fork in the avatar of Qanon,” Jones declared in May, claiming to have spoken to the person behind the leaks that make up the theory. “It is now an overrun disinformation fount.”
