The conspiracy theory—which claims that President Donald Trump is fighting far-left satanists, cannibals, and pedophiles within the government—was reportedly found in hashtags on Peloton’s available online classes. One class was reportedly tagged with QAnon’s slogan, “where we go one, we go all,” or “WWGOWGA” for short. Another class tagged as “Q” had 63 members.
