Hillary Clinton has been obsessed with “conspiracy theories” since the mid-1990s, when she accused a “vast right-wing conspiracy” for smearing her philandering husband with accusations of infidelity.
On Tuesday, in a rare appearance before reporters on her campaign plane, Hillary claimed to have helped create “many jobs in the conspiracy theory machine factory.” One day earlier, Hillary dismissed so-called “conspiracies” about her health, before she was forced to cut short a press gaggle to do a violent coughing fit.
Hillary and her Democratic allies have spent the last several months dismissing her various scandals—regarding the Benghazi attack, the Clinton Foundation, her private email server, and basically any public scrutiny of her record—as mere “conspiracy theories” dreamt up by crazy right-wing nut jobs.
This raises an interesting question…
Is it a conspiracy theory to believe that conspiracy theorists are out to get you? https://t.co/xOCJc5mlgY
