Republican gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin just couldn’t catch a break Friday on the campaign trail where he fell into the crosshairs of a so-called Flat Earther less than a day after escaping an attack from an unhinged Army vet.
“We’re being lied to. So NASA uses CGI animation. Are you aware of this? So the blue marble that everybody thinks is Earth that was made on a computer,” a man who identified himself as a US Navy veteran, said to Zeldin at a press conference in Watertown in the North Country.
The Long Island congressman soon set the apparent crank straight about geographical facts first unearthed by Copernicus during the Renaissance centuries ago.

“Show him a 1X1 grid.”

Cool pic! I’ve never seen it.
Do you know the origin?
Flat Earther’s aren’t real. They are just contrarians
Hello Appy. I tell people that all the time. I see people online all the time actually arguing with the flat earthers, but as the Irish say, "They're just taking the piss."
No they're not!
The race must be tightening if Hochul is sending these nuts to harass Zeldin.
NASA done did fergit de elephants and turtle holding dat flat earth up.

Harass? You mean ‘eliminate’?
My brother believes the Moon landing was a hoax. I just read an article about him and he also states that only Republicans can win an election.
No way the Earth could be flat.
If it were, by now the cats would have knocked everything off!
Oddly, there are a lot of people who believe the moon landing hoax idiocy. A conspiracy of few hundred thousand people, who all stayed quiet about it. LOL!

LOL! I’ve read quite a few explanations that argue against the Earth being flat. Yours is the most convincing one yet.
I think the artist is unknown. It first appeared as a black and white engraving in Camille Flammarion’s 1888 “ L’atmosphère: météorologie populaire”.
