East Idaho rep. says its 'plausible' Obama staged Charlottesville riots

Idaho Falls Rep. Bryan Zollinger took to Facebook on Friday, re-posting a conspiracy theory suggesting that last weekend’s events in Charlottesville, Va., could have been an inside job orchestrated to smear President Donald Trump.

The post, written on a site called The American Thinker, is replete with wild, unevidenced claims couched in what-ifs.

“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.”

Stop spreading these stupid conspiracy theories. Someone skinhead with low IQ might believe it and spread it further.

What was the conspiracy?

Even if it had been an agent provocateur who organized the rally, he didn't force anyone to chant Nazi-slogans. The protesters did this all by themselves.

And if the WHOLE rally was a false-flag operation, this means that dozens and hundreds of well-known white supremacists would have to be fakes.

I knew those so-called white supremacists were plausible liberals all along!
