What do you do when a train carrying GOP members of Congress crashes into a garbage truck and kills someone? Well, if you’re a lunatic, it probably looks a little something like this:

The idea that the GOP train crash was some kind of Deep State plot has now jumped off Twitter into the conservative press. Gateway Pundit has a story rounding up speculative tweets — "DEEP STATE RUMBLINGS" pic.twitter.com/tOGtRXecjR

But wait! Because it’s not a real tinfoil hat party until Alex Jones gets involved:

InfoWars is building on its GOP train crash theory — now they're positing that maybe the train's traffic controls were hacked. pic.twitter.com/yScceuehuM

Shall we go for the trifecta?

You know, the asswipes using the train crash to take shots at Republicans are bad enough. But the unhinged conspiracy theorists are arguably even worse, because not only are they twisting a tragedy and insulting the dead, but they’re doing it for clicks from a captive audience actually willing to subscribe to this kind of garbage. It’s incredibly irresponsible — and incredibly dangerous.
