Leah Feiger: And it additionally simply performs into the complete media is out to get us.
David Gilbert: Completely, yeah.
Leah Feiger: That is the tip, yeah. So, that is a enjoyable one.
David Gilbert: It reinforces the thought, which Trump has mentioned that, “Oh, ABC are going to present Kamala the questions.”
Leah Feiger: Proper, proper, proper, proper. Yeah, no, that was his huge conspiracy going into it. All proper. That is a bummer, however a great one. Tim, what do you bought for us?
Tim Marchman: Mine is Loomer’s expressed perception that the coverage purpose of the Democratic Celebration is to homicide Jews.
Leah Feiger: Love this. Say extra.
Tim Marchman: So, in an interview she gave earlier this yr, she mentioned, “Should you’re a Democrat and also you’re voting as a Jew or a Democrat, then you definately type of deserve what’s coming your manner.” These are just like the Jews throughout the occasions of the Holocaust who assisted the Nazis as a result of they thought that they have been going to be the final to go. They’re just like the Kapo Jews of the Holocaust who’ve helped shovel Jews contained in the gasoline chambers. That is what these persons are.
Leah Feiger: Pretty.
Tim Marchman: As beautiful as that’s, it is laborious to interact with conspiracy theories this fashion, however you virtually wish to take a step again and ask what steps elected Democrats have taken in direction of this obvious goal-
Leah Feiger: Positive.
Tim Marchman: … of destroying Jews in America and elsewhere. I am not seeing a whole lot of proof of it, however this can be a driving and basic theme for her that I discover a bit of irreconcilable along with her avowed white nationalism, however she is the one who’s immediately making these comparisons. And I believe that qualifies as a conspiracy as a result of, to my eye at the very least, the Democratic Celebration has stored it fairly effectively hidden.
Leah Feiger: Each of these have been unhappy and horrible, and I pronounce nobody a winner this week. I refuse to reward both of those with a win.
David Gilbert: That is a great decision.
Tim Marchman: I wish to push again. I wish to push again towards that by saying that I used to be particularly prohibited from crafting a bespoke MK-ULTRA-Laura Loomer conspiracy for the needs of profitable finest Conspiracy of the Week.
Leah Feiger: Additionally, I informed you that you could possibly not share particular conspiracies about Laura Loomer that might get us sued, so…
Tim Marchman: Effectively, if you are going to depart us to battle with our palms tied behind our backs.
