A single alt-right blogger promoted multiple viral conspiracy theories during 2016.

Evidence

Mike Cernovich is a pro-Trump, “American nationalist,” conspiracy-theory-loving blogger with 250,000 Twitter followers. But he is not just any blogger. He has been profiled in the New Yorker and the Washington Post, and was interviewed by CBS anchorman Scott Pelley, based on the depth of his influence on the 2016 presidential election. Cernovich is dismissed by some as a regular contributor to the steady stream of “fake news.” He is the person who pushed the #HillarysHealth tweets that said she was dying. Remember the #pizzagate story about how Bill and Hillary Clinton were running a child sex slave ring out of a DC pizza restaurant, where someone almost got shot? Cernovich was one of the people who promoted it. He has also accused the Clinton campaign of participating in a satanic sex cult. In his interview with the New Yorker, Cernovich talks about some of his other controversial ideas, such as that date rape doesn’t really exist and that his first marriage was ruined by “feminist indoctrination.” — Lee McIntyre, Post-Truth, 301
