Two prominent Donald Trump supporters are taking to Twitter to spread lies about coronavirus. One, Bernard Kerik, recently received a pardon from the president. The former police commissioner says he believes the coronavirus “hysteria” is a plan to destroy Trump.
David Clarke, a former Sheriff of Milwaukee County who Trump once considered for a position in Homeland Security is also tweeting some rather bizarre messages. While he was once in charge of controlling order as a sheriff, the Trump supporter now seems to be encouraging disorder. He is suggesting social distancing and self-quarantine is “an exploitation of a crisis.”
Clarke also said, “Not ONE media outlet has asked about George Soros’s involvement in this FLU panic. He is SOMEWHERE involved in this.”
These types of conspiracy theories are dangerous and should be condemned.
