Leah Feiger: And it additionally simply performs into the whole 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 concept, 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 massive conspiracy going into it. All proper. That is a bummer, however a superb one. Tim, what do you bought for us?
Tim Marchman: Mine is Loomer’s expressed perception that the coverage goal 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, “In case you’re a Democrat and also you’re voting as a Jew or a Democrat, then you definitely type of deserve what’s coming your method.” These are just like the Jews through the instances 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 pretty as that’s, it is arduous to interact with conspiracy theories this manner, however you nearly wish to take a step again and ask what steps elected Democrats have taken in the direction of this obvious purpose—
Leah Feiger: Positive.
Tim Marchman: … of destroying Jews in America and elsewhere. I am not seeing lots of proof of it, however it is a driving and basic theme for her that I discover somewhat irreconcilable together with her avowed white nationalism, however she is the one who’s instantly making these comparisons. And I feel that qualifies as a conspiracy as a result of, to my eye no less than, the Democratic Celebration has stored it fairly nicely 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 superb decision.
Tim Marchman: I wish to push again. I wish 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 greatest Conspiracy of the Week.
Leah Feiger: Additionally, I informed you that you possibly can not share particular conspiracies about Laura Loomer that may get us sued, so …
Tim Marchman: Effectively, if you are going to go away us to struggle with our palms tied behind our backs.
