Summary
They detail her outlandish past: forging messages, stealing money, faking a newborn photo by Photoshopping her face onto another woman’s body, and fleeing U.S. charges. Despite the absurd sourcing, the story’s gone viral in MAGA media, fueled by “evidence” like handwritten “enemies lists.” They mock how easily fringe media runs with such flimsy claims and note how this kind of internal drama shows the movement’s susceptibility to grifters and fabricated scandals.
We Found It! The Flimsiest MAGA Conspiracy of All Time.

| 0:24.1 | William Barr, going through some stuff on the MAGA right right now. They all want him to go to |
| 0:28.0 | prison. They all want him to face justice. It seems to be for completely invented reasons. |
| 0:33.8 | And, you know, there's a lot of completely invented reasons going around on the right these days. |
| 0:38.0 | But these stand out even among kind of the normal stuff. So we're going to talk all about it. |
| 0:43.1 | Here to talk about it is our right wing media correspondent. Will Summer. Will, how you doing today? |
| 0:48.7 | Good. There's lots to dive into on this one, I think. It's so strange. It is so strange. I was reading your false flag newsletter today, and I knew we had to do a video about it. So tell me, tell me, first of all, what the nature of the allegations are that we will, we will discuss the truthiness or lack thereof of them in a bit. But like, what are these people saying about Donald Trump's first term attorney |
| 1:11.1 | general Bill Barr? Sure. So about starting last week, Project Veritas, which people may remember |
| 1:16.5 | as James O'Keefe's kind of undercover video outlet, he hasn't been affiliated with them for a few years, |
| 1:21.6 | very ugly breakup, but they're still around. And they started putting out these videos that said, |
| 1:26.1 | we've got a whistleblower who's going to |
| 1:28.1 | reveal all his nasty stuff bill bar sort of that there's a lot going on i mean there's like gold bar |
| 1:34.2 | bars there's bribes from turkey there's all kind of stuff but at the core the claim is that bill bar |
| 1:39.8 | and this conservative commentator and businessman named armstrong williams who's kind of a |
| 1:43.4 | beltway DC creature. |
| 1:46.1 | And Fannie Willis, the district attorney in Georgia who charged Trump and then a lot of his associates, they all got together and schemed and said, okay, let's charge Trump. |
| 1:55.5 | Let's frame them. |
| 1:56.5 | And so that is kind of the central claim. |
| 1:57.8 | This is essentially saying that Bill Barr was involved in some of like the initial criminal, uh, investigations and activity against Trump that Fannie Willis was involved with like, you know, prior to a few years ago is the idea. Yeah, basically that, that Bill Barr is sort of the puppet master behind all of the trouble, uh, Trump ran into illegally that, that he was like, we should do a RICO case. And then he went down to Georgia and said, okay, Fannie, here's the plan. Why Bill Barr? You know, stay tuned. I think it's explained a little later on. But this is the claim. And it's been taken over. I mean, it's been very successful on the right. I mean, this is obviously a very busy time in terms of right wing media media news, but this is getting a lot of traction. Alex Jones is a big fan. Danesha Susa picked it up. This one, we want Real America's voice, which is like where Steve Bannon does his thing. And obviously, Project Veritas still has a big, big voice. So they put out three, three episodes so far. They say there's much more to come. |
| 2:51.3 | And so you look at it and it's like, wow, this is this is quite a story. |
| 2:54.5 | But is it true? |
