Authorities investigated a “dirty bomb” report made by a YouTube conspiracy theorist and evacuated the Wando Welch terminal in the port of Charleston, South Carolina
As tensions remain high over a mass shooting at a congressional baseball game, authorities responded quickly to the report of a possible “dirty bomb” in Charleston harbor, despite its YouTube origins from conspiracy theorists who are also trafficking in spreading bizarre and unfounded theories about Rep. Steve Scalise’s shooting.
They were told there was a bomb threat. The focal point of the threat: a ship called the Maersk Memphis, which had recently traveled from Oman to Charleston.
Jason Goodman and George Webb posted YouTube videos talking about the threat to the port, and the purported threat spread among conspiracy theory circles on the internet for several hours before authorities acted. Webb says in one of the videos that he just got off the phone with the Coast Guard and “they were hesitant to call out all the dogs and radiation meters without knowing who are sources are.” He said the sources “exist within the Midwest,” but he couldn’t be more specific because the sources “fear reprisal” from “Andy McCabe” and company. He called them “American patriots…saving our country from terrorists attacks.
Also, after the shooting yesterday, on LIVE feed with Jason Goodman, George Webb rushed over to the FBI vault. 🙄
