Stumbled onto a tweet from a comedian, a typical Trump basher, that caught my attention. Here is the relevant part of that tweet:
A 30-something Roy Moore allegedly takes teens out on dates to a pizza parlor.
Roy Moore is #PizzaGate
https://twitter.com/thistallawkgirl/status/939149679119491072
For starter, let's be clear here, the smear against Roy Moore is obviously 100% fake news. Not a single shred of evidence, a forged yearbook signature, Gloria Allred is in the picture, shady past of some of the accusers, suspicious timing of the accusations, etc. So it caught my eye that, instead of mocking the idea that Pizzagate is even a thing, they reverse it and weaponize it against their enemies.
Don't get me wrong, this tweet taken alone doesn't mean anything, but it got me thinking. Like many others I believe It is highly possible that the current scandal will very soon transition from "Sexual misconduct" to pedophilia and child sex abuse. When this happens, people will start to question if pizzagate was really fake news after all. It is very likely that the gatekeepers will adapt their narrative from "Pizzagate is a ridiculous conspiracy theory" to "Oh pizzagate might have some truth in it, but it's not who you think".

Liberal playbook 101: Accuse your opponent of what you are guilty of.

^ This should say "Political Playbook 101"
We need to keep this thing objective and free from any political party allegiances. Repubs are guilty of these crimes as well, never forget that! Dennis Hastert is/was a R!
