After police arrested a man with a firearm in a Washington D.C. pizzeria Sunday night, the son of Donald Trump‘s incoming national security advisor General Michael Flynn tweeted out his continued support for the conspiracy that spawned the attack.
“Pizzagate” is the name for the bizarre conspiracy theory claiming that associates of Hillary Clinton ran a child sex-trafficking ring out of D.C.’s Comet Ping Pong. Those claims are entirely without basis, but that didn’t stop a North Carolina man from walking into Comet Ping Ping with a weapon demanding answers.
One Donald Trump supporter tweeted out a false quote from D.C.’s police chief claiming that #Pizzagate had nothing to do with the attempted shooting.

Flynn’s son and chief of staff Michael Flynn Jr. fell for the false quote, and inisted Pizzagate was a real story.

Flynn Sr. himself has a habit of sharing unsubstantiated and false rumors about Clinton.
“….national security advisor General Michael Flynn tweeted out his continued support for the conspiracy that spawned the attack…”
What can anyone say about this other than “if you’re still listening to these people, you’re an idiot”?
The mainstream media, and everyone in our government has lost all credibility, does nothing but lie, and now exist in a state of desperation that will have them making one outrageous claim after another in their attempts to keep their neck out of nooses.

“… that didn’t stop a North Carolina man from walking into Comet Ping Ping with a weapon demanding answers.”
He was well within his rights to ASK questions, but not to DEMAND answers.
Especially not at gunpoint.
However, they got a two-fer with this one… ‘fake news’ AND gun control ‘ammunition’ (weak though it may be).
