OP has been told many times that they’re deliberately spreading a hoax. They know they’re doing the exact same thing as MAGAs do with pizzagate and birtherism. They’ve become the monster they hate.

Edit: and of course this factual comment is voted out of view by those who so desperately want to emulate the pizzagaters and birthers, and who won’t even take the five seconds to research that the Katie Johnson story is a complete hoax.

I already commented on this, but I'd like to address your later edit to your comment regarding Katie Johnson and your belief that the stories of her related to Trump are a hoax.

The earlier poster pointed out that many people think it is a hoax and provided a video of her interview, which supports the claims.

Why do you believe it to a hoax, given this evidence? I'm not trying to bully or start a fight, I'm genuinely curious and consider myself to have an open mind, but I always trust evidence over theory. If you can provide evidence of a hoax, I'm open to considering the possibility.

Have a great day.
