OK, here’s the truth: At first we were going to do this post, and then we weren’t going to do it, because wading through all of the responses to this tweet was absolutely soul-crushing. This nation is utterly broken if the number of people who believe this guy’s theory can be extrapolated to the general population.
We get that CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times (after it was shamed into line) are all going full-blast with the news that President Trump is a white supremacist. Beto O’Rourke can’t shut up about it. And Saturday’s mass shooting in El Paso can be laid at Trump’s feet for inciting violence against people of color.
But in the absence of Alex Jones, NBC News has turned to its national security contributor to explain exactly why the president has ordered the American flag flown at half-staff until August 8. 8/8? And the eighth letter of the alphabet is H, which stands for Hitler. 88 = Heil Hitler.

It’s not like the Resistance to overplay their hand like this. Oh, wait, it’s exactly like them to overplay their hand like this. Again, this is MSNBC, where “real” journalists ply their trade, not those crazy bloggers Trump invited over.

More coincidence, I’m sure. Why raise the flag on 8/8?
”KKK was at height of its popularity when more than 30,000 members — racists & anti-Semites marching 22 abreast and 14 rows deep — paraded down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington on Aug. 8, 1925.”https://t.co/hqoqWKzUDv

Wow, the cover’s totally blown off.
MSNBC is InfoWars. https://t.co/3M065SQkQs

Looks as if there is a conscious effort to make Alex Jones look reasonable.

The truth is out there, people.

You guys.
Did you hear?
Trump ordered the flags to half staff until August 8.
8/8
In honor of white supremacists. 88. Or HH.
Someone on MSNBC actually said this.

Our media is terrible and actively fanning the flames with garbage like this.

All they had to do is not be insane. Trump broke them.

I’m sure @brianstelter is going to slam MSNBC for floating this nuttery.
LOLOL Just kidding. He only criticizes Fox. https://t.co/WdgeuCMJ9P

Again, here’s where we’d embed some tweets of people who buy this theory, but the numbers are frightening. Even ordering flags flown at half-staff in honor of the mass shooting victims is a white supremacist act now.
And InfoWars was the one banned from all social media while this guy collects a paycheck from NBCUniversal for floating theories the 4chan guys would be embarrassed to use for a prank. And The Babylon Bee gets fact-checked and flagged as fake news?
