Donald Trump s fans are idiots   and this time it could have gotten people killed. Since before the election, an incredibly stupid story has been circulating in right-wing circles regarding Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, and the two of them running a child sex ring out of a pizza joint in Washington, D.C. Ever since this story began circulating, the owners of Comet Ping Pong say they have received numerous death threats and a wealth of harassment.Ever since this story began circulating, the owners of Comet Ping Pong say they have received numerous death threats and a wealth of harassment. Though they have done all they can   including contacting the FBI and other law enforcement agencies and even Facebook   in an attempt to get the wildly untrue and horrible  Pizzagate  story taken down. On Sunday, restaurant employees  worst fear came true when one of Trump s rabid, violent, and dangerously stupid fans showed up with a gun.Police received a call about a man carrying a weapon just before 3 p.m.   and chaos erupted. Police sealed off the surrounding block with tape suspect was fortunately arrested without incident. Naturally, Trump supporters see this as a validation of their whacked-out beliefs on the matter:It is very clear that law enforcement is not going to act on #Pizzagate unless WE ALL make a huge public stink they cannot ignore.

Paul Revere (@PRPOnline) December 4, 2016Of course the lefties don't want an investigation of #PizzaGate. They've been trying to normalize pedophilia for years now.  Wife With A Purpose (@apurposefulwife) December 4, 2016The entire reason for DNC and MSM creation of a #FakeNews narrative is to discredit the future scandal known as #PizzaGate Comet Ping Pong  TrumpTrain (@TrumpTrain09) December 4, 2016@CassandraRules most likely an attempt to discredit #PizzaGate. No different from the hate crime hoaxes.  Nikolajs ?? (@GreatNikolajs) December 4, 2016@CassandraRules Maybe PYSOP.

Last month, a Macedonian teen who has been duping the Right with fake stories for quite some time explained that liberals tend to catch on to non-legit stories quickly, but conservatives just run with it. We ve tried to do similar things to liberals. It just has never worked, it never takes off,  he said.  You ll get debunked within the first two comments and then the whole thing just kind of fizzles out.  The teen makes between $10,000 and $30,000 monthly from right-wing stupidity. While some may blame those who act as purveyors of fake stories, the blame truly lies with people who are too stupid to exist in a functioning society.Watch a report on the gunman below:Featured image via Washington Post/Getty Images (John W.
