CNN anchor Abby Phillip critiqued President Trump's conspiracy theory about Joe Biden being executed in 2020, agreeing with panelist Chris Sununu that both political parties contribute to the supportive culture of conspiracies. During a segment on CNN NewsNight, Phillip expressed disbelief at Trump's claims. Panelist Bill Kristol argued Trump doesn’t genuinely believe these theories but uses them to provoke reactions. The conversation pointed to a broader issue of conspiratorial thinking across the political spectrum, suggesting mutual culpability in perpetuating harmful narratives.
For two months, all the attention's been on the mental acuity of the previous president. And while the scrutiny is justified, what about the current president?
Trump doesn't believe it. He's cynical. He has a lot of people who love conspiracy theories among his supporters.
I think what you're seeing now is a manifestation of a much deeper culture of conspiratorial thinking that transcends just one party.
Both sides are definitely to blame for the culture that encourages this sort of thing, including Democrats who also believe in their own conspiracies.
