	Description:		There's a far-right conspiracy theory at the heart of Donald Trump's base. It's called QAnon, and it has hundreds of thousands of followers, including Congressional candidates. This week, the President finally responded to questions about the movement at a press conference, with positive statements of support. So just how much of a boost does that give the group? And how far could its influence ultimately extend? Today on The Signal, the growing political power of QAnon. We follow its relatively short journey from the banned fringes of the internet to the steps of Congress. Featured: Alex Kaplan, Senior Researcher on online extremism and disinformation, Media Matters
