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.

> although being moderate is synonymous with being alt-right
If you consider "white nationalism" to be moderate, you aren't moderate.
> When Micah Johnson went on to kill cops in Dallas, BLM supporters were quick to point out how he was obviously mentally ill, and that it had nothing to do with them.
That logic only works if you believe that BLM's issues are also a falsehood.
Which would be in line with believing that white nationalism is a moderate belief. So I guess you cleared that up!

Indeed. I like to think of myself as being a Christian evangelical whose politics is center-right. And by center-right I mean the real center-right, not the abomination that the GOP has transmogrified itself into. I want nothing to do with the alt-right. It offends me that anyone would think to equate the two. Anyone who thinks that "being moderate is synonymous with being alt-right" doesn't have a clue what they are talking about.
