No pizzagate shooting post?
Didn't see one. Pizzagate conspiracy. Flynn's (Trump's pick for national security adviser) tweet. His son, Flynn Jr.'s tweet continuing to defend the conspiracy even after the incident. The pizzeria, its employees, and all the local surrounding businesses receiving death threats.
Thankfully no one was harmed.

Re: No pizzagate shooting post?
It is terrible. I heard the pizza place might have to close now because business is suffering.
I did like watching Mike Pence squirm (and lie) about Flynn Jr's role on the transition team- Pence insisted he was not involved but he had a transition email address and they requested security clearance for him.
I read that people believe they will killing children and putting the bodies in the pizza. Some people will believe anything.

Thankfully, he was let go of the transition team. But, it begs the question...why lie to everyone about it? Just admit that he should not have been on the team and that he was let go. It's so ridiculous how no one in the Trump camp can admit wrongdoing and apologize. It's just lies to cover up lies.
The more terrifying thing is that the dad (Flynn, Sr.) also tweets conspiracies similar to the pizza place one and he will be our National Security Advisor. Ugh.

Re: No pizzagate shooting post?
Details about how the conspiracy theory started:
http://www.snopes.com/pizzagate-conspiracy/
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/05/did-michael-flynn-really-tweet-something-about-pizzagate-not-exactly/?utm_term=.b3c34138b336
This story is so convoluted....
I think Michael Flynn didn't directly tweet anything about the pizzeria, but his son is trying to continue the conspiracy theory. Flynn Jr. has a .gov email address, which implies he's involved in the transition team/new administration, and has advised his father in the past.
It's scary how a fake news story can be posted, and mushroom so far out of control that someone takes a gun to a public place and starts shooting in reaction to the fake story....

As of yesterday, his .gov email address was done, as was his association with the transition team.
Flynn Sr. didn't post about this particular insane theory, but has tweeted with links to others in the past. He has also retweeted anti-semitic sentiments.
