Fake Jimmy Carter death announcement spreads like wildfire on X

https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/fake-jimmy-carter-death-announcement-spreads-like-wildfire-x

ATLANTA - News that former President Jimmy Carter died on Tuesday does not appear to be true.

X (formerly known as Twitter) is blowing up right now because of an "announcement" that appears to have been originally posted by far-right political activist and internet personality Laura Loomer.

Off of the next president of the United States Kamala Harris by saying that the great Jimmy Carter is dead, these disgusting puke fuck people have no boundaries at all.

Laura Loomer
@LauraLoomer
Joe Biden is now in the terminal stage of his illness.
This is what my medical source in DC has confirmed to me.
I told you all weeks ago he had a medical emergency on Air Force One
and that you’d be seeing resignations.
Everything I said is true.
Most people don’t know Air Force One has a full medical emergency
triage center on the plane. There’s even an operating room on Air
Force One.
Just because people don’t know these things doesn’t mean my reporting
was incorrect.
It just means I’m ahead of the curve.

I used to think Coulter was the bottom of the barrel, but Loomer dug through the bottom and is well on her way to the earth's core and out the other side. Sorry, Ann, your rep as the most loathsome right-wing mouthpiece has been shattered.

I REALLY hate the use of Nazi references to modern day politics.

BUT I'll make an exception here.

Streicher ran a tabloid newspaper in Nazi Germany.

It was well known for absolutely outrageous accusations, mostly against Jews but didn't stop there.

You think the National Enquirer and stories about Bat Boy and UFO's was crazy?

Loomer does the same crap.
