Cultist Spread Lie That Buttgieg “Revealed” He’s HIV+

October 4, 2024 Extremists, Trump cultists

PolitiFact reports:

You know what they say: Beware of “breaking” news on X. It’s not always what it seems. “BREAKING: Pete Buttigieg reveals that he is HIV-positive” read an Oct. 1 X post that garnered millions of views.

The self-proclaimed parody account @Breaking911OnX shared the claim. The account regularly posts unsubstantiated claims. For some, the joke is obvious, such as this one from Oct. 1: “BREAKING: J.D. Vance spits on palms before shaking Tim Walz’s hand at vice presidential debate.”

Nevertheless, the claim continued to be shared by large accounts on X including Stew Peters, a conservative radio host whom we have fact-checked for sharing misinformation.

Read the full article. Stew Peters, as JMG regulars will know, is a literal book-burning, Holocaust-denying, Hitler fan who regularly posts calls to execute prominent Democrats and anybody else who doesn’t toe the MAGA line. Despite this, elected Republicans continue to appear on his podcast.
