Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
The President the United States retweeted this guy several times today.

You know - the President - the guy in charge of the public health emergency that is ravaging our nation.

...the stuff he did retweet was every bit as detached from reality, though.

All I see recently is a retweet of another tweet of this Lionel "person." There were two more back on February 5th., but not the tweet shown above.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_%28radio_personality%29

Since losing his Air America show, Lebron shifted his politics to the right and re-established himself on right-wing conspiracy theorist for Alex Jones' InfoWars network, where he has used his show to promote conspiracy theories, such as birtherism claims about President Barack Obama, "The Storm", claims the government is involved in a cover-up of the October 1, 2017, Las Vegas mass shooting,[8] the 9/11 Truth movement,[9] the anti-vaccine movement,[10] and QAnon.[11]

I used to listen to him during the W* years and he was, mostly, sane and rational. Now he's out Alex Jonesing Alex Jones. It has to be an act. ...doesn't it?

Does he run the government or does he not? If this were true, then wouldn't it be Trump that is injecting us with the transmitter?

He's the damn government and he is tweeting conspiracies against the government.

and he's worried about being monitored by some imaginary dot being implanted in his body to track him.
Yet again, an example, the conservative mind is astounding in it's stupidity.

Does his history (tweets and otherwise) indicate that it is not?

I bet he freights around the most successful tracking device ever created.

The smartphone.

and he thinks each of them are tracked 24/7 real time?

Do you know how many people you'd need to keep track of that??
