MSNBC host’s conspiracy theory: What if Putin planned the Syrian chemical attack to help Trump?
The Washington Post ^ | 4/8/2017 | Avi Selk

A volley of U.S. cruise missiles had barely been launched into Syria before the Internet filled up with fact-free theories about the real reason for an international crisis.

A popular one on the right-most fringes: The U.S. government actually carried out the chemical weapons massacre in Syria last week — a “false flag” to trick President Trump into retaliating, thus entangling himself in a foreign war.

A slightly more convoluted strain on the left: Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the chemical weapons massacre to help Trump — distracting Americans from an investigation into Trump's campaign ties to Russia by provoking the missile strike.

That theory — evidence-free — was laid out on a small anti-Trump website shortly after the missile strike.

But it went mainstream Friday night, when Lawrence O'Donnell advanced similar speculation on his MSNBC show, “The Last Word.”

Lawrence and Maddow need professional help. They will stop at nothing to keep their "Russia stole the election for Trump" narrative.

Why not just go fully crazy and ask "What if Trump and Putin planned the Syrian chemical attack to help Trump?"

Reminds me of a Charlie Chan movie where Charley tells his son, “Stupidest theory I’ve ever heard.”

“Lawrence and Maddow need professional help.”

Their combined IQ can’t be much over 60.

Back in her Air America days, Maddow was telling us how Bush blew up the levees in New Orleans to keep blacks from voting. Things haven’t changed much.

Sure they are.

They are paid lots of money to broadcast their “What ifs” all around the world.

Huge difference.
