GOP Candidate Shared Conspiracy Theories Claiming Uvalde And Buffalo Shootings Were False Flags

I guess being a crazy, racist, conspiracy theorist is OK now.

“In December 2016, the Board condemned remarks deemed as racist that Paladino had made about President and First Lady and demanded that he resign. On August 17, 2017, following a public hearing, the New York State Education Board removed Paladino from his Board seat for publicly disclosing confidential information obtained in executive session.”

You can compile a list of at least 100 prominent people that fit your description, and do it in about 20 minutes.

This really belongs with the “what will it take” article, but comments are disabled on that one, so I’ll just leave this here. It’s a “breaking story” so no summary yet

This cannot fool anyone any more. It just can’t:

  1. Post disgusting screed. 2) Express displeased surprise to find this on social media you run; blame someone else. 3) Knowing winks all around; message received.

I mean, when one of the least fastidious hominids ever to walk upright, when the most hateful, say-anything mean-ass bastard is raising his hands in horror that such a thing could be on his Facebook page, this gambit has gotten tired and worn-out enough that it fools neither friend nor foe.

Angry enough to want to shoot someone.

“He was also angry over a recent spate of mass shootings, those people said.”

Also, “I don’t even know how to post on Facebook,” he insisted.

Probably doesn’t know what a “burner phone” is, either.

Much easier to ignore and do nothing if it was all make believe.

Much different than Q-conspiracies … which are absolutely real.

If it had been Sotomayor’s home it would be considered legitimate political discourse.
