As rescue work continues and authorities try to separate fact from fiction, the conspiracy theories are not helping. Elected leaders from both parties have had to set the record straight and urge people not to give into fear and rumor.
“If everyone could maybe please put aside the hate for a bit and pitch in to help, that would be great,” posted Glenn Jacobs, the retired professional wrestler known as Kane, who is now the Republican mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. Jacobs’ post was intended to rebut rumors that workers from the Federal Emergency Management Agency were seizing relief supplies from private citizens.
When folks like Gov. Brian Kemp (R) praise the federal government's relief efforts.........well.........trump sees an opportunity to inject lies in to the news cycle in order to perpetuate The Following's loathing of government. And to muddy the waters so people don't know what to believe. The latter being exactly the kind of disorienting chaos trump always introduces to create a feeling of discomforting uncertainty among the public. The thing he thrives on.
