Immediately following President Donald Trump’s decision to launch strikes against Syria for their use of chemical weapons, MSNBC launched a campaign promoting conspiracy theories — and examples appeared on multiple shows across the network.
The first and most notable example came on Friday night from far-left host Rachael Maddow, who suggested that Trump launched the strike against Syria to divert attention away from a “catastrophic domestic scandal.”

Also on Saturday, MSNBC allowed Sarah Badawi, a senior lobbyist for the far-left group Progressive Change Campaign, to go on air and suggest that Trump launched the strikes against Syria because of Comey’s new book.
