Pizzagate is an internet conspiracy theory that Katie always found kind of interesting when looking at the evidence that conspiracy theorists point to. Join us as we travel down the rabbit hole, and get sidetracked by ADHD.
As a primer, here's a summary of Pizzagate, as well as some helpful links referenced in the show:
In 2016 Wikileaks released hacked emails from John Podesta, who was Hilary Clinton's campaign chairman. Some of the emails referenced pizza and other "code words" in weird ways that internet conspiracy theorists picked up on, along with the mention of a particular pizza place in Washington DC called Comet Ping Pong. These emails along with the art favored by James Alefantis, the owner of Comet Ping Pong, and the art of John and Tony Podesta led internet sleuths to believe that there was a pedophilia ring being run out of Comet Ping Pong. Join as us we ask, what was that whole thing about anyway?
Here are some of my favorite links:
