5:06Now PlayingRepublicans are now pushing a new conspiracy theory that ABC gave Kamala Harris’s campaign sample questions that they would ask during the debate, and they swear that they have a whistleblower who is about to come forward with some kind of evidence. Donald Trump seized on this baseless claim and ranted like a madman about how he “won the debate” in spite of every poll showing the exact opposite. The man is beyond unhinged, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Apparently this past Saturday was a new conspiracy day for the Republican Party, and they pushed out a conspiracy. It started on Twitter, Elon Musk responded to it and amplified it to millions and millions of people. And of course, it worked its way up to Donald Trump At the initial conspiracy. The original post says that there is a whistleblower at a, B, C, okay? And this whistleblower is about to sign a sworn affidavit. The post says, that says that A B, C gave Kamala Harris's campaign sample questions that they may ask her during the debate. That, of course, took place last Tuesday. And this whistleblower is totally gonna sign that piece of paper soon. Okay? They haven't signed it yet, you know, they, they're totally credible. They just, they're just gonna wait a few days before they sign it. I mean, come on, give them time. Give.
That's totally believable, right? Um, if you had evidence of this, by the way, you would've just come out with it immediately. You, you wouldn't be sitting there like, Hey, in a few days I'm gonna, I'm gonna sign a piece of paper saying this happened. I'm not gonna do it today. You know, got things to do. It's laundry day. These people are so just dumb. I mean, that's the kindest word I can use to describe them. They're just dumb. They're genuinely dumb, but they're dumb and they think you are even dumber. That's why they push these things. If you had a whistleblower, guess what? They'd have just come out and blown the whistle and said, look right here where they did it. Not, I'm gonna sign a paper in a few days saying that this is what happened. They'd have just put out the evidence. That's what whistleblowers do.
But anyway, as I said, it made its way to Donald Trump. And of course, he got on true social, had a complete and total meltdown Saturday morning, and said this, I won the debate. A nice lead over the Marxist candidate comrade Kamala Harris, who had a very hard time yesterday, answering the simplest of questions in Pennsylvania where she will end fracking. It was a word salad, a real mess word salad. A real mess. He says, coming the day after when he couldn't even pronounce her name, and she's the one with word salad. Mm-Hmm, sure. That is totally believable. And then Donald Trump followed it up with another post attacking a, B, c, again, saying it was three on one, but they were mentally challenged people against one person of extraordinary genius. It wasn't even close as is now reflected in the polls. I won the debate, he said, again, in all caps, um, first of all, no, it's not reflected in the polls, but what, you can't just call people mentally challenged. That's a defamatory statement. See, you're in a position of power. You're in a position of influence. And you know that those people clearly were not
Mentally challenged, as you say. And yes, they could absolutely, at least the two moderators, probably not Kamala Harris, because, you know, uh, being in public office and the, uh, uh, spotlight bars a little higher, but those two hosts on a, b, c, like they could absolutely sue you for defamation, and I hope they do. But then Trump followed it up with yet another post embracing the conspiracy theory, saying this A, B, C fake news has been completely discredited and is now under investigation. Did they give Comrad Kamala the questions? It was three on one, and that's when he goes into the other thing. Um, so yeah, yeah, that's, that's their new conspiracy theory. Apparently there's a whistleblower, it's gonna be coming out at some point. We don't know when, whenever they get around to it, stop hassling them. They're totally gonna come out with it.
