Brenden Dilley is a far-right podcaster who previously pushed the QAnon conspiracy theory and leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content that former President Donald Trump has repeatedly shared. During the July 9 episode of his online show, Dilley referred to “Anons,” which is a term for QAnon supporters, and “the chans,” which seemingly refers to the 4chan and 8chan/8kun message boards, as he described the composition of his “meme team.”

From the July 9, 2024, edition of The Dilley Show, streamed on Rumble

BRENDEN DILLEY (HOST): The Dilley meme team, unequivocally the greatest online mercenary meme team in the history of politics. It's never been done before. We took a bunch of autists from the Anons and the chans and the fucking Twitter and everywhere else, who happened to be fans of the show, many of them knew how to meme, and others learned how to meme after watching this show, and created something that no one's ever done. And that team went on to take down a $300 million campaign.
