Idaho Falls state Rep. shares article saying Charlottesville was ‘set-up’
Idaho Falls Rep. Bryan Zollinger took to Facebook on Friday, re-posting a conspiracy theory suggesting that the tragic events in Charlottesville, Va., could have been an inside job orchestrated to smear President Donald Trump, the Idaho Falls Post Register reports. The post, written on a site called “The American Thinker,” is replete with wild, unevidenced claims couched in what-ifs, writes Post Register reporter Bryan Clark..
“The conflagration in Charlottesville is beginning to feel like a set-up, perhaps weeks or months in the planning,” the author wrote. In a comment, Zollinger called the blog post “completely plausible.” You can read Clark’s full story here.
