Insane Righties Protesting In D.C. For A Pizzagate Investigation.Yes, Seriously

http://mindy-fischer-writer.com/2017/03/insane-righties-protesting-d-c-pizzagate-investigation-yes-seriously/?utm_content=bufferb8dd5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Donald Trump has ushered in a whole new level of crazy in this country.

During the presidential campaign, many outrageous conspiracy theories popped up on social media and alt-right sites. Some of these stories came from Russia and some came from Hillary haters just spreading fake news. But wherever they started, Trump supporters latched on like a dog with a bone.
One of those fake stories was “Pizzagate.” The theory was that Hillary and John Podesta were running a child sex ring out of a D.C. pizza joint. Because of that absurd story a man drove across the country and showed up at the pizza place with a loaded gun to “save the children.”

And believe it or not some of Trump’s supporters still believe this nonsense is real.

One of the Kings of the alt-right movement, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, came out this weekend and apologized for pushing the fake Pizzagate story. But apparently that didn’t faze the true believers.

On Saturday people from all over the country showed up in D.C. to participate in a Pizzagate rally. They are demanding that a full investigation be launched into this Hillary child sex business. Yes, really.

Fortunately there weren’t a ton of people there. But the fact that even this many people would go to D.C. for this lunacy is alarming.

Donald Trump has truly ushered in a whole new level of crazy in this country.

It's a lot of tweets and videos at the link.

Some people are idiots. Some people inspire and cultivate idiocy, plant the seeds, spread the fertilizer, and provide water and sunshine.

Can you appreciate America becoming great again? Are you sick of winning yet?

When they push fake news that has been unequivocally dispelled, that's deplorable.

about Obama wiretapping Trump when they know it didn't happen,they keep asking did he do it.

The media and politicians are asking do they think Nunes should be replaced and some say no,some act as though any investigation with Nunes isn't compromised.

I saw a Trump supporter say Obama is responsible for the Trump/Ryan bill failing.The head of the EPA was just on This Week with Stephanopilis and he kept blaming Obama for things that happen years before he was in office. The media is creating these crazies.

No matter the issue its the Democrats fault,they are ignorant,uninformed,racist,money hungry or insane.

He thinks he is to be respected because he is in the law enforcement community and posted this article claiming the first case in the Washington pedophile ring was prosecuted. Typical bs lies by the reporter, but this guy believed it. . I pointed out the guy wasn't anywhere near Washington and had more in common with law enforcement than politics since he was a probation officer from Ohio that molested a family member. I didn't get a response at all, but I'm sure he was too busy at the time.

I can't believe these lies are still floating around.

Violence erupted at a Make America Great Again rally in Huntington Beach on Saturday after a protester opposed to President Trump allegedly doused a female organizer of the event with pepper spray, sparking a brawl that ended with several arrests.

A group of flag-waving Trump supporters tackled the man with the pepper spray, who was wearing a black mask, and started punching and kicking him, according to witnesses. Several other fights also broke out between demonstrators.

masked men who somehow only "attack" the RWers when there is a camera around, allowing them to pretend that the left is somehow equivalent to the folks committing all the hate crimes?

Who is he? Did they bother to find out? Press charges?

Pizzzagate! They must really be taking Russiagate seriously in the bunker at Mar a Lago, if they're using the big guns so soon. I guess tRump feels that Hillary will shake in her books and decide to call the dogs off with regard to Russia.
