It wasn’t clear why the video was suddenly making the rounds on Twitter again, or what event might have brought it to the attention of the president.
President Trump on Tuesday shared a nearly 2-year-old video of a TSA pat-down that originated from a QAnon conspiracy theorist’s Twitter account.
“Not a good situation!” Trump commented on his retweet of the video shortly before midnight. It was interspersed among tweets about the Electoral College, which he once wanted to abolish and now wants to keep.The clip posted by Woods came from a Twitter account called Deep State Exposed and operated by Jeremy Stone, a follower of the so-called QAnon conspiracy theory that dark forces within the government are at work against Trump and his administration.
Woods’s tweet of the video was retweeted by Larry the Cable Guy, who wrote: “Absolutely ridiculous! How many times do you have to feel a kid up to figure out he’s not a threat? This is infuriating and hard to watch.” According to the Transportation Safety Authority, the 13-year-old passenger “underwent enhanced security screening, which included a pat-down, after his laptop alarmed an explosives trace detection machine” at the Dallas Fort-Worth airport.
