Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Friday suggested mental health care for followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory, a right-wing movement that believes President Donald Trump is fighting a ring of child sex traffickers entrenched in government.

“I’ve been a big supporter of mental health. I’d recommend people who believe it should take advantage of it while it still exists under the Affordable Care Act,” Biden told reporters after a speech about the economy.
