Topline President Trump promoted a baseless conspiracy theory on Tuesday alleging that the Obama Administration covered up a plot to stage Osama bin Laden’s death, a wild accusation that was pushed by Twitter accounts linked to the QAnon conspiracy theory. Key Facts On Tuesday afternoon, Trump retweeted an article from an account with a history of promoting the QAnon conspiracy theory alleging “Biden and Obama may have had Seal Team 6 killed” and that Bin Laden may still be alive. The conspiracy theory also alleged that Obama had killed Bin Laden’s body double. The tweet linked to an article written by an author, Kari Donovan, who identifies as an “ex-Community Organizer” who is now “a Homeschool Mom in North Carolina” while the QAnon account who pushed the link, “Oscar the Midnight Rider 1111,” appears to have been banned from Twitter after Trump retweeted the message (the tweet is missing from Trump’s account and clicking on the user returns a message of “This Tweet is from a suspended account.”) Late Tuesday night, Trump retweeted about the conspiracy theory again, sharing a tweet from a separate QAnon-linked account linking to a video in which Nick Noe, identified by the Daily Beast as a “conservative personality” and “father of a former Navy SEAL who died in Benghazi,” claims Hillary Clinton and Biden colluded with Iran to arrange for Bin Laden to be transferred to Pakistan for “Obama's trophy kill . . . right before his reelection.” As of Wednesday morning, the tweet was still active on Twitter, racking up nearly 13,000 retweets and 24,000 “likes.” Chief Critic The Biden campaign hit back at Trump for promoting the conspiracy theory, calling the president “seriously unhinged.” Key Background According to the Daily Beast, the most recent Bin Laden conspiracy theory originated from Alan Howell Parrot, a “falconer who says he uncovered secrets about al-Qaeda, Iran, and U.S. intelligence in his work as a falconer for Middle Eastern power players.” Crucial Quote Donovan, the blogger who posted the article Trump retweeted, said on Twitter she has “no proof that the Whistleblower’s claim are true.” Surprising Fact Robert O'Neill, a former Navy Seal who claims to be the one who actually shot and killed Bin Laden, lashed out at the president on Twitter for pushing the conspiracy theory. “It was not a body double,” O’Neill says.

I'd really like Trump supporters here on Dawgtalkers to try to defend or rationalize this.
It is TOTALLY insane, and I mean insane. Of course it's also divisive and just like a 5 year old lashing out at 'stuff' when they are in a bad mood.

This is what desperation looks like nearing an election. This is the type of thing they will choose to ignore. It doesn't fit into their narrative.
We see it all over. Wishing to release Hillary's emails. Calling for Biden and Obama to be arrested and the list goes on. It's pure desperation and they have no excuse for it. That's why they will just stick their fingers in their ears and scream "LA, LA, LA, LA, LA LA!"

O'Neal's following tweet got a chuckle out of me:
"S#. I just found out that I killed Osama bin Johnson. Drinks are on me, I guess..."

 Can’t wait to see how his supporters spin it.

yep, i wanna see what the MAGA hatters here have to say about this.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Where are all the Trump supporters? I'd like to see how they dismiss this as not relevant.

Pres. Trump: “That was a retweet, I’ll put it out there. People can decide for themselves.” Savannah Guthrie: “I don’t get that. You’re the president. You’re not, like, someone’s crazy uncle who can just retweet whatever.” Mary Trump: "Oh, I beg to differ Savannah."

No wonder no Trump supporter will not touch this. They can insinuate Biden is a dithering dotard that is controlled by the radical left. . . however we have the proof that Trump is unhinged and a pathologically liar that pedals in stories that are totally fake and untrue .... among other numerous failings.

Robert O'Neil seems to be none-too-happy about this.
