QAnon influencers rallied behind Wood, a major figure in the conspiracy movement, following the Rittenhouse interviews with Fox News and NewsNation, with many believing the teenager was being manipulated behind the camera.

John Sabal, known as ‘QAnon John’ to his 71,000 Telegram followers, shared a clip of the Rittenhouse interview as the teen mentioned Wood’s QAnon comments and added: “Not too smart to s*** where you sleep Kyle.”

In a November 22 Telegram post, Sabal said he believed Rittenhouse was “a hero,” but believed he was being manipulated.

He said: “Just to be abundantly clear, just because I stand with Lin Wood, doesn’t mean I don’t also believe what happened to Kyle was legitimate, and that I don’t support him.”

Ron Watkins, who has been accused of having once had control of the ‘Q’ account that sparked the conspiracy movement, also shared his support for Wood.
