The left is just a font of conspiracy theories. It would just be funny except for things like "Russia collusion," which so harmed our country.
Now they're at it again, this time with the Trump assassination attempt. You have some who think was staged. Let's just ignore that Corey Comperatore was killed and two others were injured, plus the shooter was taken out. And there were all kinds of people on site who saw it.
Then you also have the "ear truthers " -- the folks who don't think that Trump was grazed by a bullet. This, despite the fact that he clearly had blood on the ear, was treated at the hospital, his former doctor took subsequent care of him and confirmed it, there's a picture from a photographer reportedly showing the bullet, and the FBI affirming he was hit by a bullet.

You would think that would be enough. But even if it had been shrapnel, that wouldn't change the fact that it was an assassination attempt, and that's what these people seem to want to deny or downplay.
But now there's another theory spreading out of the "ear truther" conspiracy. Seriously, these folks are just bats.
Pete Souza, the White House photographer under Barack Obama, has a history of bad lefty tweets. But he went all in on this one when he posted a picture of Trump's ear and fed into the conspiracy, as our sister site Twitchy reported. Then Souza appeared to deactivate his account after he caught a lot of backlash for pushing such nonsense.

Souza claimed he was posting a picture taken July 27 morning, writing, "Look closely at his ear that was "hit" by a bullet from an AR-15 assault rifle."
It's hard to tell from a picture at that distance about the injury to the ear or whether it was a graze. Townhall's Rebecca Downs was among the people who asked him what was wrong with him.
WOAH! I think Pete Souza got shamed into deleting his account?! pic.twitter.com/J0S95loglf

But that of course set off the unhinged folks on the left into conspiracy theory overdrive.
They claimed that Souza had been suspended by Elon Musk to try to shut down him because he shared the picture.
If someone is suspended, it will say that on the account. If someone deactivates their own account, it will say, "This account doesn't exist," and that's exactly what Souza's says. But that didn't stop the conspiracy theorists from jumping on that, attacking Musk and calling to "Free Pete Souza" despite the evidence not supporting that he was suspended.
Folks! Elon just suspended @petesouza! WE MUST #FreePeteSouza!! https://t.co/EOuYvHGtTU

Pete Souza was the Official Chief White House Photographer for the entire Presidency of Barack Obama.

He took over 2 MILLION photos of Obama, as well as photos of Reagan & Bush.
Today Musk suspended his account for posting this AP photo.

So guess who jumped on the bandwagon and spread absolute malarkey?
You had to know if there's TDS being spread, former member of Congress Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) would have to be there.
Poor @elonmusk is scared https://t.co/vbq0sFQfCr

No, Adam, you're speaking something not supported by evidence. It's funny that he doesn't know what a suspended account looks like when he spends so much time on X.
The most ridiculous thing was the folks who claimed things like if Trump had been hit by a bullet shot from an AR-15, it would have ripped his ear off, blown out his eardrum, or snapped his neck. They talk having no idea what they are even saying. But that's the left, about so many things.
