Because if enough dishonest Democrats
and their grass roots liars and paranoids make a false accusation that enters the public sphere and affects the public, it will be investigated.
So?
Even honest liberals are appalled by those lies.
Glenn Greenwald called out fellow leftists who have been promoting the unsubstantiated collusion claim. He wrote:
The principal problem for Democrats is that so many media figures and online charlatans are personally benefiting from feeding the base increasingly unhinged, fact-free conspiracies.
. .that there are now millions of partisan soldiers absolutely convinced of a Trump/Russia conspiracy for which, at least as of now, there is no evidence.
(Emphasis added)
To whom was Greenwald referring? By following a link in Greenwald’s piece, we learn that Rachel Maddow is the main media figure he sees as personally benefiting from feeding the base unhinged conspiracies about collusion with Russia. No surprise there.
