No ground behind plot conspiracists theoriesWhat a bunch of total clowns these Trump bagholders!
When forced to detail/demonstrate their "claims", AON's plot conspiracist network had to admit they had no ground to their laughable claims:
Newsmax's AON 'clarifies' election conspiracy theories after legal threat from voting technology company
All throughout Monday, Newsmax viewers were treated to a short — yet remarkable — disclosure from the network's hosts:
- that Newsmax has no evidence Dominion or Smartmatic manipulated votes in the 2020 election;
- that Newsmax has no evidence Dominion or Smartmatic has any relationship with George Soros;
- that Newsmax has no evidence Dominion uses Smartmatic's software or vice versa; and
- that Smartmatic is a US company, not owned by the Venezuelan government.
Newsmax framed the
disclosure as a "clarification," though the network maintained it itself had never peddled any conspiracy theories about the companies.
The extraordinary about-face came after Smartmatic sent a
blistering legal threat to Newsmax and other right-wing media outlets earlier this month. Ben Rhodes summed up the Monday messages succinctly,
tweeting, "So, we're going to spread massive amounts of total disinformation like cancer metastasizing through American democracy, but we also don't want to get sued so we're offering this clarification."
