The liberal media outlet Politico, which spent years promoting the Russia collusion hoax and the Steele dossier, now accuses MAGA conservatives of being obsessed with conspiracy theories, specifically regarding the Epstein list and child trafficking.
The problem with things the left has called conspiracy theories over the past few years is that they keep coming true.
It's amazing the lengths they will go to downplay the Epstein story.
Just look at this garbage.

From the story:
Pizzagate, QAnon, and the “Epstein List”: Why the far right is obsessed with sex trafficking
A day before the so-called Epstein list was dropped, far-right conspiracy theorists were agitated by the speculation that the list would crucify prominent figures on the left for their involvement in sex trafficking. It's an idea that's very popular in this world, where Pizzagate and QAnon fantasies run rampant.
The truth, of course, was very different: The materials released in federal court last week, with more now released, were not some sort of Jeffrey Epstein client list, as had been speculated online. They were actually documents from a lawsuit filed by one of Epstein's victims that included the names of the people, but provided little new information about whether they knew about or participated in Epstein's heinous crimes.
People responded on Twitter/X:
Blue Anon is now spreading the baseless conspiracy theory that Epstein himself is a conspiracy theory? Kind of superficial!

What is a “conspiracy theory”?? People would literally travel to Epstein's island to rape young girls. This is a fact.

And you wonder why no one trusts you… Epstein sex trafficking is not a conspiracy theory, it has been proven. Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison on charges of recruiting him!

The bigger question is why did communist journalists become so obsessed with covering sex traffickers?

The “conspiracy theories” currently under federal investigation?

Their whole goal is to make Trump voters look irrational and crazy. They can spend years promoting any crazy conspiracy theory about Trump they want, but then they accuse conservatives of doing precisely that. Pure projection.
