Why Is There Such A Fascination With Clinton Conspiracies?

The frustration of conspiracy theories lies in their premise on credible accusations of sexual misconduct against Bill Clinton. In the wake of Jeffrey Epstein’s death, President Donald Trump has been boosting the conspiracy theory that the convicted sex offender was killed by Bill Clinton. One reason for the staying power of conspiracy theories involving Epstein is his frequent socializing with the world’s rich and famous.

The psychology behind conspiracy theories is complex, as they are often based on credible accusations of sexual misconduct against Bill. The US mainstream media exploded in 2016 when an armed man harassed diners in a Washington DC pizzeria, allegedly because he subscribed to the QAnon online conspiracy theory claiming that a Hillary Clinton-connected paedophile ring was operating from the restaurant.

Conflict theories have entered the mainstream of Republican Party politics since the Clinton era and Vince Foster’s suicide. The news that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was injured in his Manhattan jail cell has revived a decades-old conspiracy theory that baselessly links a Hillary Clinton-connected paedophile ring to the restaurant.

The Clinton body count is a conspiracy theory centered around the belief that former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his wife, former U.S. Secretary of State, were running a pedophile ring. The “big tent conspiracy theory” falsely claims that former President Trump is facing down a shadowy cabal of Democratic figures.
