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 top, yeah. So, that is a enjoyable one.
David Gilbert: It reinforces the thought, which Trump has mentioned that, “Oh, ABC are going to offer Kamala the questions.”
Leah Feiger: Proper, proper, proper, proper. Yeah, no, that was his large conspiracy going into it. All proper. That is a bummer, however a very good 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 12 months, she mentioned, “For those who’re a Democrat and also you’re voting as a Jew or a Democrat, you then type of deserve what’s coming your approach.” These are just like the Jews through the occasions of the Holocaust who assisted the Nazis as a result of they thought that they had 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 fuel chambers. That is what these individuals are.
Leah Feiger: Beautiful.
Tim Marchman: As beautiful as that’s, it is laborious to have interaction with conspiracy theories this fashion, however you virtually need to take a step again and ask what steps elected Democrats have taken in the direction of this obvious aim—
Leah Feiger: Certain.
Tim Marchman: … of destroying Jews in America and elsewhere. I am not seeing a variety of proof of it, however this can be a driving and basic theme for her that I discover a bit of irreconcilable together with her avowed white nationalism, however she is the one who’s straight making these comparisons. And I feel that qualifies as a conspiracy as a result of, to my eye a minimum of, the Democratic Celebration has saved it fairly properly hidden.
Leah Feiger: Each of these had 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 very good decision.
Tim Marchman: I need to push again. I need to push again in opposition to 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 instructed you that you would not share particular conspiracies about Laura Loomer that may get us sued, so …
Tim Marchman: Nicely, if you are going to go away us to battle with our arms tied behind our backs.
