Donald Trump Jr promoted a long-debunked, far-right conspiracy theory on Thursday by sharing a tweet that linked former President Bill Clinton's firing of an FBI director to the death of his then-aide, Vince Foster.

In an apparent effort to defend his father's firing of FBI Director James Comey, Trump Jr. retweeted user @StockMonsterUSA, who wrote, "President Clinton fired his FBI director on July 19th, 1993, The Day before Vince Foster was found dead in Marcy Park." The tweet included a picture of Foster with the Clintons.

Debunked???

Memory-holed.

So, if a close associate of Trump’s is found dead today, they can say he’s Clintonian rather than Nixonian.

"President Clinton fired his FBI director on July 19th, 1993, The Day before Vince Foster was found dead in Marcy Park." - well, the timing of that certainly demands an answer, as some bimbo on Fox's "The Specialists" was peddling about Comey's firing just a few minutes ago......

But how many scoops of ice cream did he have?

...a long-debunked, far-right conspiracy theory...

As opposed to the current far-left conspiracy theory about Russia.

[ilovesarah2012]

Debunked? So Clinton didn’t fire him?

[Responsibility2nd]

Is CNN really so stupid that they don’t know when they’re being trolled by Trump or even Trump, Jr?

Rhetorical question. Don’t answer it.

[gov_bean_ counter]

More like it.

[BenLurkin]

The tweet is baldly factual.

CNN is making the “conspiracy connection”

[Grimmy]

Debunked???

Yes. Debunked.
The media says it’s debunked, it’s debunked.
You questioning the media?

[Chgogal]

That's funny. He's going to get into trouble for using the word “bimbo”. ; )

[CaptainK]

Trump Jr. only gets one scoop.

[SoFloFreeper]

So? Is the claim that Clinton fired Sessions before Foster died? Yes or no? Come on, CNN.

[sodpoodle]

It does beg the question; Was William Sessions looking into any of the mysterious deaths of people associated with the Clintons?

Where is the list? IIRC it was about 68 people.

[Fantasywriter]

The headline makes it sound like Foster’s body wasn’t found the day after BC fired FBI Director Sessions. CNN’s hysteria has rendered them all but incoherent.

[FredZarguna]

@CNNPolitics apparently doesn’t get irony. Not surprising.

Actually the word “bimbo” was mine, describing the woman who was appearing on Fox - but then that’s my impression of what she was....
