'We were briefed': Ex-GOP lawmaker blows up popular right-wing conspiracy theory
Raw StoryFormer Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger on Saturday blew up a popular right-wing conspiracy theory, saying some who spread the misinformation were briefed alongside him on the facts. Kinzinger, who has recently been in the news for jumpstarting a meme about how bad "Trump smells," took to social media to destroy the "Seth Rich" theory. "The whining, weak, brittle, fragile, delicate, feeble, puny, victim mentality of the MAGA movement is one of the most transparently sad, snowflakey, and pitiful movements really in American history," he wrote. "The incessant whining followed by the usual deflection of some harsh attack that reasonable adults would eschew has really reached a boiling point in my tolerance of typical and normal political dialogue."
