🎧 Anatomy of a Viral Conspiracy Theory
The Bulwark's Jim Swift joins the Utterly Moderate Podcast.
from the CONNORS FORUM
Did you know that President Joe Biden was bussing unauthorized immigrants to a hotel near Orlando, Florida and giving them pre-loaded credit cards, hotel rooms, and clothing—all on your dime?!? You say you didn’t know?
Good, because the story was a complete fabrication.
On this episode of the Utterly Moderate Podcast we are joined by good friend of the show Jim Swift from The Bulwark to discuss the mechanics of how a modern conspiracy theory like this goes viral.
Swift covered this story over at The Bulwark in a piece titled, “The Bogus Protest, the House Race, and the MAGA Grocer.”
We talk about this viral conspiracy theory and more on this episode. Enjoy!
