Brad Parscale appears on CBS (screen grab)
President Donald Trump's former campaign manager Brad Parscale pushed a coronavirus conspiracy theory -- and other social media users blasted him.
Parscale, who was reassigned from his duties overseeing the 2020 re-election campaign, baselessly claimed that a child was shot to death in Florida but listed as a coronavirus death because he tested positive after blood testing.
"I talked to a police officer today. He said a child was shot and killed in Florida. The child had covid after blood testing," Parscale tweeted. "He was marked as a covid death."
"If this is true," Parscale added, "this madness must stop."
Other Twitter users criticized him for floating the theory without any proof.
