The Internet never lets you down.
It only took one tweet by a ‘blue check’ to turn a tragic incident into a drama-filled Twitter thread filled with head-scratching conspiratorial nonsense.
Early Friday BizPac Review reported that actor Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer and injured a director with a prop gun accidentally loaded with a live round. However, Johannes Velterop, whose Twitter bio describes him as an “Internationalist,” “EU Citizen,” and “ex-UK resident” took tragedy to another level and suggested that Baldwin’s prop gun had been secretly loaded with real bullets by a Trump supporter as a means to punish the actor for his Donald Trump parodies on Saturday Night Live.
“Might the prop gun have been secretly loaded with real bullets by a Trump supporter, to punish Alec Baldwin for his Trump parodies? Should be a line of inquiry.”
When confronted for his take, he doubled down, claiming that only “MAGA-types” are dismissing the idea.
He was roundly mocked for his “conspiracy misinformation” on all sides.
