2/ The conspiracy theory seems to originate with a former Trump speech writer, Darren Beattie, who was fired in 2018 after @KFILE unearthed the fact that he'd attended a white nationalist conference in 2016. After Trump lost the November election he appointed Beattie to a ...

4/ It got picked up by Tucker Carlson and now Andrew McCarthy has laundered it into a more refined form for NRO. I'm told Glenn Greenwald is pushing it too.

5/ It's basically a new version of the Vince Foster conspiracy theories from going on thirty years ago.

1. How do we co-exist in a country full of psychotic delusional people?

Who are not connected to reality?

2. Yep, flipped over and saw Tucker discussing it.

Of course he used the fire extinguisher story as part of how this must be a cover up. Then he tied in that George Floyd wasn’t murdered but OD’ed on drugs.

6. Someone put that on a post his death being natural causes on FB

I went off. Told them I’d send them $100 bucks through our mutual friend
to go to his family and tell them that to their faces, also told them I would give my $1400
dollar stimulus check if she went to the parents of
the Lakeland HS shooting and tell them it was a false flag.
Told her she could use the money she saved from the tax bill
trump passed to help her travel. Tagged my friends and asked them
if they wanted in on the offer and they all wrote count them in.

Of course no response and haven’t seen a single post on my friends post since.

9. They refuse to admit that they themselves are murderers

rethugs, cons, the ultra-religious hacks, and uber-patriots like to announce they have all good qualities while claiming that liberals, Democrats, minorities, etc. all have bad qualities. It's nothing but lies so that they can feel better about hating what they don't understand.
