Leah Feiger: And it additionally simply performs into your entire 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 concept, 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 great one. Tim, what do you bought for us?
Tim Marchman: Mine is Loomer’s expressed perception that the coverage purpose of the Democratic Occasion is to homicide Jews.
Leah Feiger: Love this. Say extra.
Tim Marchman: So, in an interview she gave earlier this yr, she mentioned, “In the event you’re a Democrat and also you’re voting as a Jew or a Democrat, then you definately form of deserve what’s coming your approach.” These are just like the Jews in the course of 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 beautiful as that’s, it is laborious to interact with conspiracy theories this fashion, however you nearly wish to take a step again and ask what steps elected Democrats have taken in direction of this obvious aim—
Leah Feiger: Certain.
Tim Marchman: … of destroying Jews in America and elsewhere. I am not seeing quite a lot of proof of it, however this can be a driving and basic theme for her that I discover a little bit irreconcilable together with her avowed white nationalism, however she is the one who’s straight making these comparisons. And I believe that qualifies as a conspiracy as a result of, to my eye a minimum of, the Democratic Occasion has stored it fairly properly 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 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 successful greatest Conspiracy of the Week.
Leah Feiger: Additionally, I advised you that you could possibly not share particular conspiracies about Laura Loomer that may get us sued, so …
Tim Marchman: Effectively, if you are going to depart us to combat with our arms tied behind our backs.
