The guardian reports on a sobering event in Washington DC.
US police have arrested a man wielding an assault rifle who entered a pizza restaurant that was the target of fake news reports it was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.
[...] The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.
[...] [Police] said the suspect during an interview with investigators revealed that he came to the establishment to "self-investigate" Pizzagate, the police statement said. Pizzagate is a baseless conspiracy, which falsely claims Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the restaurant's backrooms.

That's why I thought a year ago that Trump would win, because he understood the media and the zeitgeist much better than the Clintons did. In fact I think I did say that his time in RealityTV taught him all he needed to know about spectacle in today's America.
(I doubted toward the end after the comments to Howard Stern on his show came out, but Comey saved it for him.)
Washington DC delenda est.
