Seems to me like the response was perfectly legit. If news media is spinning Q and anons as troublemakers, then the timing is still off.

Remember, some people have been sleeping and are just now waking up by even hearing about Q not that this has gone mainstream as promised. So, now, whether the world believes the truth is up to each of us in how we communicate the facts to those who ask us or -especially- to those who attack us. Our response matters - this is how we win.
