Melania Trump 'against' QAnon if it's 'harmful to children,' spokesperson says
East Wing chief of staff Stephanie Grisham on Tuesday said she had not discussed the QAnon conspiracy theory with first lady Melania Trump, who has made internet safety a focus of her "Be Best" campaign, but argued Trump broadly opposes to anything that would be harmful to children.
"I haven't talked to her about that specifically but I think there's constantly this misperception that it's about online bullying, which of course gets tied to the president," Grisham said on MSNBC ahead of Trump's speech at the Republican National Convention later in the evening.
"It's about online safety, and it's about teaching children that there are predators out there online and that they need to really watch out who they're talking to online and what they're doing," Grisham added, noting that internet safety has become even more critical for children as they spend more time online.
Asked if she felt the first lady should disavow QAnon, Grisham demurred.
"I would never say what I think she should or shouldn't do," Grisham said. "But I think it would be safe to say if there's anything that would be harmful to children online, she's going to be against that."
