4. Really hard to trust Caviezel

"Actor Jim Caviezel has spread a host of QAnon-related conspiracy theories while promoting his new anti-trafficking movie in right-wing media, from false claims about child kidnapping to truly bizarre accusations about Ukrainian biolabs and mass organ harvesting....

....Caviezel’s appearances are often incoherent and disjointed, making his fantastical assertions even more difficult to follow for anyone outside the deepest recesses of right-wing conspiracism. Though his rambling interviews wildly oscillate between surrealist free association and grandiose pomposity, he has maintained support from multiple conservative media outlets, appearing repeatedly on the podcast of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon as well as Fox News competitor One America News. He also promoted the movie on a show hosted by Scott McKay, an antisemitic, Hitler-praising conspiracy theorist who was recently scheduled to speak at an event with Eric Trump. McKay, who also endorses QAnon, was dropped from the billing following reporting by Media Matters....

“I’m certainly not antisemitic,” Caviezel said, before repeating a common antisemitic trope. “The studios wouldn’t hire me, but see they’re all controlled by the central banks.”

“Do you really think Biden is the president of the United States? Do you really think he’s running our country?” Caviezel continued. “Please. Who [is] above him? Who are the puppeteers?”
