In October 2019, Rion reported without evidence that ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and ex- FBI lawyer Lisa Page had an affair. On April 1, 2020, the White House Correspondents’ Association removed OAN and Rion from the press briefing room due to violating the Association’s attendance policy. Rion stated that she was a guest of White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham and was not on the OAN list of reporters to participate in the daily press briefings.
She also has promoted QAnon conspiracy theories on the air and questioned if the virus came from Wuhan, China, suggesting that there are ‘clues’ that the virus was created in a laboratory in North Carolina. In March 2020, she called the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which caused the COVID-19 pandemic, the ‘Chinese virus’ and questioned whether it came from China. She asked Donald Trump if he thought the term ‘Chinese food is racist because it is food that originated from China’ was racist. Trump responded: ‘I don’t think that’s racist at all’
