Seaman wrote for both Business Insider and then The Huffington Post. However, Seaman was fired from The Huffington Post after posting an article questioning Hillary Clinton's health, using a video by conspiracy theorist Paul Joseph Watson of InfoWars.[1][7] Seaman said in 2017 that this termination led him to become involved with the Pizzagate conspiracy. At the time in 2016, Seaman's firing caused him to become something of a hero among the Reddit community /r/The_Donald, and he began producing videos critical of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.[3]
