'Biggest hoax in history': Debate sends MAGA spiraling into new conspiracy theory

Frenzied MAGA devotees are going down a new conspiracy rabbit hole after President Joe Biden’s stumbling debate performance with Donald Trump.

The right wing has developed a new rallying cry that’s an offshoot of their proclamation that Biden is unfit for the presidential office, Politico reported Thursday, which is that the Democrats and the mainstream media colluded for months to cover up his decline.

"The biggest hoax in history has been exposed,” Trump adviser Stephen Miller yelled at the National Conservatism Conference being held in Washington, D.C. this week.

“Anybody who’s anybody in the Democratic Party participated in, knew of and covered up Biden’s cognitive dysfunction while allowing secret unnamed staffers to run the country.”

The theme is repeated by multiple MAGA figures.

“I think now this will go down as another journalistic failure that has betrayed the public by running interference for Biden [and] obfuscating the truth that the man is in what appears to be severe cognitive decline,” Vivek Ramaswamy, who unsuccessfully ran against Trump to become the GOP’s presidential nominee.

And, on Tuesday, Fox News host Sean Hannity targeted the “cabal of Biden enablers and liars and state-run media” for a cover-up.

“The charade, the cover-up, the corruption, the lying is now officially over,” he said. “It has been obvious that Joe was never up to the job, but the media mob did their best to cover this up and lie for him for years.”

“Our task,” added Miller, “is to make the case to the American people that a party that is so hell-bent on power that it is willing to engineer a conspiracy of this scope and magnitude must be booted from the halls of power in a thunderous fashion this November.”

Ramaswamy told Politico the “cover-up” was just the latest example of the media working in cahoots with the Democratic Party.

“If on the eve of the last election, we had not seen the Hunter Biden laptop story dismissed as Russian disinformation and suppressed and silenced by social media companies in a systematic way — and if the election before that, you hadn’t seen the Russia collusion hoax that has been broadly disproven — then I don’t think that in this context, people would focus on the media dimension of this,” he said.

“This seems like the latest avatar of what we’ve seen for the last couple of cycles.”

Meanwhile, many Democrats have also criticized the media’s handling of the debate’s aftermath, saying it’s been ultra-focused on what they call a “bad night.”
