As if we needed anything else to be frightened about in the incoming Trump administration, the son of Trump’s top national security adviser is helping spread the baseless far right conspiracy theory known as “PizzaGate” — the conspiracy theory that inspired a gunman yesterday to invade the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washington DC and terrorize the customers and employees.

And almost as horrifying as the fact Flynn Jr. is defending this dangerous nonsense: the people he tweeted this to. Rabid conspiracy-monger Alex Jones, rape defender Michael Cernovich, fake news propagator Jack Posobiec and several other “alt-right” Twitter accounts. This is bad craziness at its worst; Flynn Jr. is also an adviser to his father, and now has an official government transition email address — so he’s going to be part of this administration. Bad craziness at the top levels of the US government.

Note that in addition to everything else I pointed out above, Flynn Jr. is revealing what appears to be a private message from Jake Tapper, in order to gloat about “hitting a nerve” to his fellow nutjobs.
