Senator Elizabeth Warren, who accused Donald Trump of peddling conspiracy theories to attack the integrity of a sitting president, has created a conspiracy theory of her own, charging that “giant corporations & their right-wing buddies spent millions to keep the SCOTUS seat open” for Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.

Warren fired off a series of tweets outlining her position:

When Justice Scalia died, giant corporations & their right-wing buddies spent millions to keep the SCOTUS seat open for @realDonaldTrump.

Judge Gorsuch has a long, detailed record that shows he cares more about corporations than women, workers, consumers, & families. #WeObject

I joined @NARAL & @peoples_defense on the SCOTUS steps this morning to kick off delivery of 1M petitions opposing Judge Gorsuch. #WeObject pic.twitter.com/WFyhEDcc0P

Last September, Warren attacked Donald Trump for peddling conspiracy theories:

Let’s be clear: @realDonaldTrump just admitted that he peddled fake conspiracy theories to attack the integrity of @POTUS.

Warren’s own conspiracy theory regarding Gorsuch was immediately decimated on Twitter:

@elizabethforma @realDonaldTrump you mean the corporations that spent over a billion $s trying to elect Hillary Clinton. Those corporations?

@elizabethforma @realDonaldTrump but Pocahontas, you said President Trump would never win. Why would they keep it open for Hillary?

@elizabethforma @realDonaldTrump Or you could say that the US Constitution allowed for the seat to stay open. Even justice Ruth Ginsburg said it was a non issue.

@elizabethforma Really? Which corporations? Which “buddies”? Name names. Provide proof. Don’t just throw a rock and run. More fake news.

The critics are correct; the Constitution indeed permitted the GOP Senate to hold up nominating a justice to the court; Trump was not expected to win, and most importantly, Clinton received heavy support from the heads of many corporations, as delineated here.

Perhaps Warren is thinking that peddling wild conspiracy theories will gain her the Democratic nomination in 2020.

Here’s hoping she’s right.
