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 Idaho Statesman 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........................................

1. "has largely been debunked" WTF? What part hasn't been?

[underpants]

2. They made us be Nazis!!!

[brush]

27. Right! Who elects these idoits who think O somehow got nazis to riot?

What's that saying — better to be thought a fool than open ones mouth and ...

The fact that these dumb ass repugs are in charge of every branch of the government is says so much about our electorate.

[TygrBright]

3. The stupid... it buuuuurnzzz.... !!! n/t

[Initech]

4. Good god, these people are stupid!!!!!

[Angry Dragon]

5. he took his stupid pills sold by Rush and Alex

[Blue_Adept]

6. It's also plausible that he puts sprinkles on his dick and has it perform in a clown show

[smirkymonkey]

17. *snort*

[AllaN01Bear]

7. who writes this stuff ,and thinks this stuff up :( hem. umbriago.

i cant stand fear for fear's sake , and cant stand stupidity for stupidity's sake. whole lot of stupid and fear going on.

[monmouth4]

8. How could Obama be charged with this when he's been so busy arranging the eclipse? He's only

one person ya know..geez.

[BarbD]

13. Perfect reply!

9. Guy has been out in the potato patch too long

[Judi Lynn]

10. Of course that "Muslin" is sneaking around plotting against brain-dead Republicans.

That really happens every time a Democrat leaves office, doesn't it?

To keep that from happening, we should never let a Democratic President leave office.



"Derp,"
signed, Rep. Bryan Zollinger.

[ChubbyStar]

22. Oh FFS that tie

Poorly tied and bought at the dollar store. Jaysus.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Zollinger must not be very bright

and he sure is boring

[RhodeIslandOne]

12. Hopefully Obama will use his massive power to remove Trump for office today n/m

[Maynar]

14. Oh, FFS!

[calimary]

15. IDAHO. IDIOT. Hmmm... it certainly fits, 'eh?

With my sincere apologies to all Idahoans (even those stupid enough to think this guy of theirs makes sense). I just want to take them by the shoulders and shake them: WHAT IN HEAVEN'S NAME ARE YOU THINKING, VOTING FOR JERKS LIKE THIS?????? Maybe the answer is - they're NOT.

[SharonClark]

16. The problem is that enough people believe the lies to elect the liars to public office

instead of recalling the liar.

[IronLionZion]

18. First he turned the frogs gay

then he came for the confederate monuments,
by the time he comes for their guns, there will be no one left to be batshit insane

[Blue Idaho]

19. "Idaho Democrat" is not an oxymoron

But sometimes it feels like it. Regardless, we are fighting for the future of our state. So are many independents and progressives who have formed local Indivisible groups across the state. We are all working together to change this ruby red state one vote at a time. Guys like this - and there are plenty of them - just make us work that much harder.

Wish us luck.

At least one law enforcement officer in Charlottesville, VA has come forward to clear his conscience and reveal the truth — or at least his version of it — that what went down in the city was not only condoned by city governance but was intentional, orchestrated and may have been planned as long ago as May.

The as-yet unidentified police officer has said that the Charlottesville P.D. were specifically instructed to bring the radical left and right wing groups together to instigate violence and then to told to “stand down” once violence ensued in a deliberate effort to ignite a race riot. Hear his words:

Watch the video. This should establish conclusive ties between Obama, State Department, Podesta, Center for American Progress and Soros in Charlottesville hoax.

Here is the store Jeff Sessions. Now use your Justice Department to deliver justice to these criminals.

23. I remember that far right event where

West and Greenwald were giving each other double-HJs

[underpants]

29. I've seen a lot less West shares on FB.

The guy is making a living off being a one term Congressman who lost in a heavy Repub district

No, you idiot, it isn't. You hate-filled piece of shit.

24. Just wondering what ninja trick he used on Trump

to make him look bad.

[rickford66]

25. Didn't Obama do Bowling Green also ?

[Sanity Claws]

26. Making shit up like this is pure evil

Not stupid. The person making the shit up thinks others are stupid.

28. I am impressed he did not mention Al Sharpton

[underpants]

30. Each pundit is picking out touchstone names

Generally you had to mention BLM but I saw that Katrina Pierson mentioned Nancy Pelosi. Please don't ask me to explain.

[apkhgp]

31. Where do these people come from?

This accusation smells so bad it needs to be condemned by the Idaho State government.
