Why would Watkins want to share a virus among his subscribers?What is the deal?Watkins teased a surprise revelation about the 2020 Presidential election earlier this week. Watkins revealed his bombshell to conspiracy theory-believing followers, and it was nothing but a slap in the face.Watkins' video features John Poulos, CEO of Dominion Voting Systems. Poulos is responsible for large amounts of voting technology that is used in elections across the country. Multiple people have falsely accused Dominion of wrongdoing during the 2020 election.Watkins and MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell, Trump supporters, have claimed for months that they have evidence that the election between Joe Biden & Donald Trump was fraudulent and that Trump won. Their evidence is a collection of conspiracy theories and lies. Joe Biden is the official president of the United States. There has been no evidence that fraud was involved in the election.Despite this, the believers in the right-wing QAnon conspiracy still believe that Biden will soon step down and Trump will automatically rise to the presidency.Poulos, in the Watkins clip, reiterates that neither the company nor anyone else can remotely access the voting machines during an electoral election. Watkins' clip includes blurry, unintelligible video of computer screens that are allegedly the result of a whistleblower from Dominion claiming that they can remotely access these machines.After opening Ron Watkins' video, Q believe they have been hacked.
