There’s an insane conspiracy theory flying around — thanks, in part, to a retweet from President Trump — that says Joe Biden murdered Navy SEALs as part of some sort of ritual and SEAL Team 6 killed Osama bin Laden’s body double in that 2011 raid:
Trump has endorsed a falconer's Benghazi conspiracy theory that Joe Biden killed Navy SEALs in a blood sacrifice and that Osama Bin Laden is still alive because Seal Team 6 killed his body double. https://t.co/KIkNJuRXrr

But here’s retired Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill — you know, the guy who actually shot bin Laden — responding to this nonsense:
Very brave men said goodby to their kids to go kill Osama bin Laden. We were given the order by President Obama. It was not a body double. Thank you Mr. President. Happy birthday @USNavy

It really is a silly thing to have go viral right now before the election:
The right: OMG, you killed a body double.

At least O’Neill is having a little fun with it:
Shit. I just found out that I killed Osama bin Johnson. Drinks are on me, I guess…

Case closed:
