The Republican National Convention went off with little controversy, so naturally liberal media and the Democratic Party have rushed to embrace every ridiculous conspiracy theory that floats by on social media.

Liberal media, fresh off of seven years and counting of warning about “fake news,” “misinformation,” and “cheap fakes,” have jumped onto several conspiracy theories over the course of the week. The most absurd one comes from MSNBC’s Joy Reid and Michael Steele, who have decided to practice bullet trutherism and cast doubt about whether former President Donald Trump was hit by a bullet during the attempted assassination of him.

Not to be outdone, MSNBC’s Alex Wagner declared that it is white nationalism to want to be buried alongside your family when you die. MSNBC’s Kyle Griffin suggested that the RNC misspelled the name of Corey Comperatore, the man killed during the attempted assassination of Trump, on his firefighter uniform displayed during Trump’s speech. A brief bout of common sense would remind you that it was Comperatore’s actual uniform, meaning that it had always been misspelled.

To top it all off, MSNBC used LED screens to make it look like the network’s panel was at the RNC, a worthy reminder the next time the network talks about “cheap fakes.”

Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris led her critique of Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) speech by making a big deal of the fact that he did not mention “Project 2025.” The Biden campaign led its criticism of Trump with the same thing, as Democratic politicians rant about one think tank’s report from which Trump has already distanced himself and paint it as a sinister Trumpian plot to take over the country.

The conspiracy theories drip down to voters, too. A Morning Consult poll found that 34% of Democratic voters think it is “credible” to say that Trump staged the assassination attempt against him, a higher percentage than the 23% of Republicans who believed in QAnon conspiracy theories, which liberal media spent years claiming was a massive problem.

This is not new for the Democratic Party and its media allies. More than three years of conspiracy theories about “Russian collusion” and two decades of “stolen election” talk is enough to prove that. The holier-than-thou attitude of liberals who dismiss all their opponents as conspiracy theorists consumed by misinformation is unearned because they are the misinformed conspiracy theorists they so often criticize.
