Acosta: We Can’t Blame Q-Shaman’s Feelings of ‘First Love’ on Trump, Can We?

‘I never thought this would come back to love’

EXCERPT:

ACOSTA: "The QAnon, the so-called QAnon shaman, Jacob Chansley, he pleaded guilty Friday for his role in the Capitol riot. Take a listen to what his lawyer says about his client's view of Donald Trump. I think it's pretty telling."

WATKINS: "He had a fondness for Trump that was not unlike the first love a man may have for a girl or a girl for a man, or a man for a man. The first love always, always maintains a tender and soft spot in the heart of the lover."

ACOSTA: "Congresswoman, I never thought this would come back to love. We can't blame all of this on love, can we? You've worked very hard on this issue, I know, so I wanted to ask you about that, first. What did you make of that? What a bizarre comment."
