FBI Director Kash Patel is being called out for stoking conspiracy theories about the death of Lindsey Graham. In a post to X early Sunday, the FBI director paid homage to the late South Carolina Senator — who died suddenly at the age of 71.

“Senator Lindsey Graham was a devoted public servant, a fierce defender of our nation, and a true patriot who dedicated his life to the people of South Carolina and the United States,” Patel wrote. “Our prayers are with his family, loved ones, colleagues, and all those who knew him during this devastating time.”

But it was the last line of Patel’s post which raised eyebrows. “The FBI is assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available,” Patel wrote.

Some on the far-right have already spread conspiracy theories about Graham, who died from “a brief and sudden illness,” according to his office. Emergency personnel reportedly responded to a person at Graham’s home suffering from cardiac arrest. But the official reports have done little to dampen speculation among the conspiracy theory crowd. Indeed, Laura Loomer — one of those who has been pushing the theories most vociferously — promptly shared Patel’s post.

Not sure why the FBI would be involved with a heart attack.

1. Hmm

I mean, if somebody, like Putin, were to target somebody in the U.S. government, I suppose a supporter of Ukraine might be near the top of that list. If.

3. Pootie has his 2 methods -

"Fast" = out a window, off a balcony or down the stairs

-OR-

"Slow" = polonium-210

2. We know Petty Kash didn't write that, especially on a Sunday morning

VIPs have staffers who do the condolence writing. Possible the one responsible for this one is someone in the FBI who didn't get a special bonus payoff from Kash?

5. "Petty Kash"....good one!

4. Bill Browder himself reportedly said all tests should be done to rule out foul play by Russians

So, I cannot criticize this 1 statement by Keystone Kash.
(Unless someone shows that Mueller She Wrote made this up.)

8. I love it when the MAGAts invent conspiracy theories that only serve to divide them and remind everyone how batshit

crazy they really are. The same thing is happening around Charlie Kirk, and it's a lovely thing to watch.

9. Patel just MIGHT have an IQ lower than 80

dude is a DOPE

10. Lindsey had been looking like impending heart attack

for about a year or so.

11. Has Loomer ever been on the receiving end of a conspiracy post?

especially those conspiracies that never seem to end.... I would love to see her hounded day by day, night after night... every where she goes, where ever she shows her face, to have someone ask her about one of the conspiracies about her. Maybe taking a heavy dose of her own medicine might right some of the screwed up brain cells that woman's got rumbling around in her head.
