Donald Trump on Scalia: “They Found a Pillow on His Face… Pretty Unusual”
In an interview today with Michael Savage — one of the craziest, most hateful right wing radio hosts in the US — Donald Trump once again pandered to the loons by suggesting Justice Antonin Scalia might have been murdered.
“It’s a horrible topic but they say they found the pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow. I can’t give you an answer. I literally just heard it a little while ago. It’s just starting to come out now, as you know, Michael.”
Unfortunately for the wingnut conspiracy theorists, the owner of the Cibolo Creek Ranch where Scalia was found clarified this issue today on CNN, saying Scalia “had a pillow over his head, not over his face.”
Of course, this won’t stop the conspiracy theory. Nothing stops a right wing conspiracy theory.

Remember that Donald Trump got his big start in politics by relentlessly pushing the Birther lunacy about President Obama, and has appeared on the Alex Jones show, telling Jones, “Your reputation is amazing.”
That’s where the Republican Party stands in 2016; their leading candidate for president of the US is a conspiracy theorist.
