Request for Discussion: Controversy over including subject's views on QAnon, George Soros, and Black Lives Matter

edit

There appears to be a burgeoning controversy on this page regarding whether to include info regarding Sawyer's views on QAnon, George Soros, and BLM protests in Kenosha. Both primary (Sawyer's Twitter) and secondary (Daily Beast article: https://www.thedailybeast.com/what-happens-when-ex-navy-seals-go-full-qanon) were cited, then deleted in total by other editors (justification given: "Non worthy information, attempt to slander a national hero" and "Sawyer's comments on Twitter don't define him as a person who defended his country and has put his life on the line for environmental causes", and most recently, from Psalm512020, "attempt to discredit"). I believe this info is validly included -- it's germane and noteworthy as relating to a significant national controversy. But I am open to suggestions regarding contextualization or alterations in rhetoric (as opposed to wholesale deletion). Schraubd (talk) 22:31, 4 September 2020 (UTC)schraubdReply

Conspiracy / Fake News Propagandist?

edit

This is just to note that Mr Sawyer appears to hold a number of views generally discredited as conspiracy theories and/or 'fake news' propaganda*. Currently, this article makes no mention of this at all, which I find a bit odd. I've recently added a sentence around the claims made by him in the interview below, but it was quickly removed by a vandal. Worth keeping an eye on it!
