An Idaho state lawmaker is facing backlash for sharing a conspiracy theory that former President Obama helped to orchestrate the violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., as part of a plot to take down President Trump.

Idaho Rep. Bryan Zollinger on Friday posted a story on Facebook that suggested Obama and other top Democrats like billionaire George (((Soros))) and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe were part of a conspiracy to set up the rally, the Post Register reported.

“I’m not saying it is true, but I am suggesting that it is completely plausible,” Zollinger wrote on Facebook.
The story claims that Obama has set up a “war room” to fight against the Trump administration — a claim that has largely been debunked — and that Charlottesville was a part of his plan.

The lawmaker later told the Idaho Statesman that it was “maybe a mistake” to share the story but doubled down on his statement that the claims were “plausible.”

WTF is this shit?

Plausible how? in that it's physically possible for them to have been in a room once?

By this logic almost anything is "plausible", including the peepeetape.mpeg

 

[mechashiva]

Finally, a representative of his people.

 

[Darte]

It is also quite plausible that the rep is an idiot.

 

[rocketskates]

Plausible.

Well ok then.

Trump's doing a fine job of this on his own - he doesn't need Obama, Hillary or (((Soros))) to help him.

 

[Dead Prince]

sounds like something trump would say. wtf is this BS

 

[Culex]

I would have countered that it's certainly possible the rep is a child molestor.

 

[Violence Jack]

I wonder if he's secretly a Sandy Hook truther and an anti-vaxxer as well.

 

[Slayven]

"The negro did something"

 

[Switch Back 9]

These are the people running your government hahahaha.

"Not saying it's true, but it's definitely plausible."

That's the kind of idiocy that is defining the political climate of stupidity these days.

 

[Matrix XII]

Anything is then "plausible" due to that type of thinking. What a buffoon.

 

[Frozenprince]

People elected this fucking idiot

 

[TheOfficeMut]

People elected this fucking idiot

Fucking idiots elect fucking idiots.

I hate it.

This guy is seriously going to run the risk of getting Ted Kennedy'd

 

[Westbahnhof]

Please stop I want to get off now this ride is too wild

 

[Lebron]

Obama, the forever scape goat

 

[tbm24]

About as plausible as Trump being an effective president.

 

[Stinkles]

Any of gaf's two sides low key Trump stans want to jump in this?

 

[Zaru]

The "barrier of entry" for american politics and all three of executive, judiciary and legislative never ceases to amaze me with how weak it seems to be.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

I knew it.
Obama should also be investigated for the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents, the explosion of Alderaan and the assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford. That's right, did you know that if you change almost all the letters in Robert Ford, it spells Barack Obama? Just food for thought.

 

[rjinaz]

I fully expect calls for the Rep to resign, from both sides.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

saying stupid devil's advocate crap like "im just saying it's plausible" is some antiintellectual pussy shit that is from the cowards hate playbook. nothing says you lack a spine or even an atom of courage than like this nonsense.

Necessary qualifications to run America:

- Be born there
- Be old
- Have money
- Express confidence in everything you say, no matter how dumb.

And ideally, be a white man.

 

[bionic77]

My back was sore when I woke up.

Pretty sure the negro president was behind it.

 

[Daedardus]

When the Thanks, Obama meme goes too far.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

trump will make this guy his next VP

 

[Nepenthe]

Even when white people clearly commit unmistakable evil, a black person is still somehow at fault.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

I would have countered that it's certainly possible the rep is a child molestor.

yeah anyone wanna jump on twitter and ask him to prove the allegations false that he likes to molest pople in his basement while whistling old civil war confederate tunes? im just saying it's definitely plausable and isn't a good look tbh

 

[Pilgrimzero]

That picture looks like they are on a mission from God.

 

[super-heated plasma]

My boss totally believes this. :/

Obama is behind everything. Even the birth of Obama.

Black Jesus?

 

[DonShula]

So Obama asked the neo Nazis to march on Charlottesville, and then personally sent Antifa to counterprotest. Then he convinced a young white guy from a state over to plow a car into a crowd.

Plausible is not the word I would have used.

 

[Common Knowledge]

Guys, Obama might be an alien creature sent down to destroy earth. I'm not saying it's true, I'm just saying it's plausible. Open your minds.

 

[sixteen-bit]

This is so absurd.

 

[Caelus]

There are no forests!!!

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Black Jesus?

Haven't watched the series, so not a quote. If you're asking Obama is black Jesus, then I will take the stance of the representative: It's plausible.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I actually think it was the work of aliens. It's completely plausible.

He's a diabolical motherfucker, for sure..

 

[Dynasty]

Neo-Nazis/White Supremacists took orders from a black muslim(in there eyes) man? Seems likely.

What an (((Idiot)))

 

[Skellig Gra]

It has been said that experts maintain that this is possibly plausible.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Resignation needs to be demanded. If a public figure said this about 9/11, they would be flayed.

BTW, the only reason why Trump was hurt by Charlottesville was due to his dumb ass giving the worst possible response to what should've been a moral freebie.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Obama is in league with Mr Jones, and has many secret agents doing his bidding - not only was he responsible for Charlottesville, but I heard he was involved in the destruction of the windmill too.

Trump will prevail over the traitor Obama, and anyone who helps find him will earn a bushel of apples and the title "American Hero, Second Class"...

 

[kAmui-]

My boss totally believes this. :/

How is this even possible? Like, what is the evidence for this??? Peoples idiocy is just baffling, though at this point I'm not that surprised.
