.MaddowBlog: UK and US announced President Trump will make a state visit to the UK, and then President Trump again falsely accused the UK of a spying scheme.
In Mach 2017, after Donald Trump falsely accused his predecessor of illegally wiretapping Trump Tower, the White House was desperate to make the president appear less ridiculous. Sean Spicer, the press secretary at the time, defended Trump’s bizarre allegations by sharing with reporters a lengthy excerpt from a Fox News report, which alleged that Obama used a British intelligence spying agency to conduct surveillance on Trump before the election.
That is, until this morning, when Trump decided to peddle the exact conspiracy theory all over again. The president published this missive via Twitter: It’s probably worth clarifying a few of the relevant details. In this case, Trump was apparently watching the One America News Network , which is basically an even-more-extreme version of Fox News. This morning, it featured an interview with Larry Johnson, a far-right conspiracy theorist, perhaps best known for peddling claims about the “whitey tape” in 2008.
