On Tuesday afternoon, far-right media outlet Real America's Voice dedicated a nearly 20-minute segment of its talk show "Water Cooler" to a novel explanation of Monday night's FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's Palm Beach resort and home. While many Trump allies in the Republican Party and conservative media have competed to voice the most vehement denunciation of the search — Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona called to "destroy" the "democrat brown shirts known as the FBI," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia suggested that the raid might portend "civil war" and Florida state Rep. Anthony Sabatini said state leaders should arrest FBI agents "upon sight" — RAV managed to find a bigger villain yet.
"I'll just tee it up this way: Jeffrey Epstein. Pedophiles. Trump. Deep State," said host David Brody, co-author of a biography of Trump, before handing the reins over to his colleague Anna Perez, host of her own RAV show, "Common Sense." Perez went on to make a lengthy case that the raid was tied to the claims of the repeatedly debunked conspiracy theory QAnon, which argues, against all evidence, that Democratic politicians, Hollywood celebrities and other elites are part of a satanic and cannibalistic child sex abuse ring that only Trump can defeat.
