"Seth Rich was fatally shot in Washington, DC, in July 2016. Police have said evidence indicates he was the victim of a botched robbery, but in the wake of his death, far-right activists and media organizations suggested something far more sinister. Without real evidence, they peddled a conspiracy theory that said Seth Rich leaked a trove of DNC emails to Wikileaks and was killed in retribution for the supposed leak. The theory was convenient for some on the right as they disputed allegations Russia hacked the DNC, something President Donald Trump had raised doubts about."

Anyone paid up for the Pizza gate conspiracy? The Obama not a citizenship conspiracy? And does it matter when the horse has a mile lead out of the corral before the truth saddles up?

It really is a criminal thing and should be treated as criminal to abuse the first amendment to conspiracy theories to con voters with zero evidence but the fantasies in your head...a felony against democracy.

Is that all protected free speech, because that is fucked up man?!
