And so it is, the Dem Candidate says what it is.
And on Fox News [foxnews.com], no less!

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Friday slammed the far-right conspiracy movement OAnon as “dangerous” and suggested that adherents to the movement should consider mental health treatment.

Biden, fielding questions for the second time in a week, noted that he’s a big supporter of mental health treatments and said "I'd recommend the people who believe it [OAnon] maybe should take advantage, while it still exists, of the Affordable Care Act."

The OAnon conspiracy theory is centered on the baseless belief that Trump is trying to save the world by waging a secret campaign against enemies in the “deep state” and a child sex trafficking ring run by global elites who are satanic pedophiles and cannibals.

"What in God's name are we doing? Look at how it makes us look around the world. It's mortifying. It's embarrassing, and it's dangerous," Biden said. "If the president doesn't know better, which he has to know better, then my Lord we're in much more trouble than I ever thought we were."

And Biden warned that "this can't go on. This cannot go on. It's the deconstruction of our democratic system.”

That's what the man said, with some minor revisions.
