Trump’s New Mouthpiece Caught Pushing Jaw-Dropping Claims

Trump’s New Mouthpiece Caught Pushing Jaw-Dropping Claims

Terry Wyatt / Getty Images for 2521 Entertainm Newly appointed White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia has shared several posts online calling Democrats pedophiles and giving weight to the so-called Pizzagate conspiracy theory.

In Truth Social posts uncovered by Popular Information, Zacharia, 41, seemingly showed herself to deeply believe in the Pizzagate conspiracy theory as she called upon Fox News to highlight it.

Pizzagate is a right-wing conspiracy theory that originated in the 2016 presidential election and asserts that prominent Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and her 2016 presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta, were involved in a child sex trafficking ring.

The theory baselessly claims that Clinton and Podesta ran their sex trafficking business out of a Washington, D.C., pizzeria, Comet Ping Pong.

The theory came to a dangerous head in December 2016 when Edgar Maddison Welch traveled from North Carolina to Comet Ping Pong and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle.

While Pizzagate has been debunked numerous times over the last decade, Zacharia is seemingly still a believer.

She posted “ Pedo Podesta. #pedoPodesta ” on Sept.

4, 2022, the same day it was announced Podesta had agreed to work in the Biden White House.

Later that day, Zacharia, a California native, posted “ The radical left Hollywood elitists are sick pedo cannibals.

Change my mind .” And on Oct.

17, 2022, she made a post tagging Fox News anchor Sean Hannity, writing “ [W]here’s the feature on John Podesta? ” She also reposted a post on Truth Social that read: “Democrats want to mask and rape your children.

That’s their satanic platform.” The new White House press secretary has also posted numerous times about QAnon, a conspiracy related to Pizzagate that claims that Donald Trump is actually fighting a child-abusing group made up of elites in the Democratic Party, Hollywood, and the so-called “ deep state.” Believers in this theory believe that Trump is often signaling to them through coded messages.

In November 2022, Zacharia responded to a Truth Social user who posted, “Did you notice Trump drinking bottled water last night during his announcement.

He drank at least 2-3 times.
