Notre Dame cathedral is still on fire, and some of our blue-checked liberal betters are taking a few moments to warn us all about the “far right” spreading conspiracy theories:
This will do little to quell the right-wing conspiracy mob already spreading disinformation, but it's good to know: https://t.co/BC5wnPvFbk

We’re not sure why this tweet would stir up conspiracy theories:
Fire at Paris’ Notre Dame cathedral was started by accident and is related to ongoing work, according to France 2, citing police. Either way it is terrible and a hideous blow to the symbolic heart of the city

But whatever. We’re certainly not going to argue that it’s abhorrent to use this tragedy to push unfounded conspiracies. But who’s pushing these conspiracies, exactly? Jordan Uhl, the blue-checked prog who has a history of misrepresentation and mischaracterization, has done some digging and found proof that “the right” is trying to blame the fire on Muslims:
Notre Dame fire hasn't even been extinguished yet and the right is already trying to blame it on Muslims, despite it being started by accident during repair work pic.twitter.com/X5d4eiPOvd

*Muslims and other frequent targets of conspiracy theories

So, a handful of randos and a pair of blue-checked nutjobs constitute “the right”?
Woops, you accidentally pictured a tweet from a muslim blaming someone else. You suck at this.

He really does:
I'm muslim.
I didn't blame it on muslims.
Delete your tweet.

Nope. She invoked the Rothschilds. So she’s got a problem with Jews.
I love how he missed the fact that he included a Partisangirl tweet blaming this on the Rothchilds in here lol https://t.co/7ugsR8515S

@neontaster look at this.. he quotes 10 anonymous accounts and two blue check marks, one of whom is writing about issue unrelated to the fire & the other is a conspiracy theorist from Syria (Australia) who blamed it on Jews (Rotschild)… but he says "right trying to blame it on" https://t.co/0oFG994RzK

While you're busy screenshotting egg accounts with 20 followers check out all the hot takes from blue checkmarked influencers dunking on President Trump for tweeting about it.

Twerps like Uhl aren’t so much interested in discouraging conspiracy theories as they are in ensuring that the pot stays stirred so people will keep blaming conservatives for everything.
The fact that your brain even came up with the idea to search this shows how much of a nihilist you are. Don’t hate yourself so much you’re starved for affection from others
