Like Clockwork, QAnoners Are Convinced The Clintons Are Behind Haitian President's Assassination

There are a few things you can always count on in this world—the sun is always going to rise, taxes are always going to come due and QAnoners are always going to find a way to blame absolutely everything on former Democratic Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Sure enough, within a short time of news breaking of the assassination of Haiti's President, Jovenel Moïse, the word "Clinton" began trending on Twitter as hordes of QAnon devotees linked the murder to Clinton and her husband, former Democratic President Bill Clinton, with absolutely no basis.


Haiti figures heavily in the lore of the QAnon conspiracy theory, adherents of which believe the world is run by a cabal of Satan-worshipping, child-trafficking, baby eating pedophiles led by the Clintons and others like Madonna and Tom Hanks who Donald Trump is working to expose.

The Haiti fixation stems from the Clintons' two decades of charity work on the island nation through their non-profit The Clinton Foundation, especially the notoriously bungled relief efforts following the catastrophic 2010 earthquake in the country. The Clinton Foundation is one of several organizations, including the Red Cross and Oxfam, that have come under scrutiny for their roles in those relief efforts.

As usual, QAnoners have taken a legitimate issue and spun it into a nefarious plot, this one claiming the Clintons have murdered countless informants attempting to blow the whistle on their charity work in Haiti, which many of them believe is merely a front for the Satanic child-sex blood rituals they supposedly perform there.

According to QAnoners, Moïse is the latest of those informants to be murdered. Never mind Moïse was an unpopular and notoriously corrupt leader whom many feared was turning Haiti into a dictatorship. For QAnoners, there is only one explanation for his assassination and it leads directly to the Clintons.

Alt-right provocateur Jack Posobiec, a regular amplifier of conspiracy theories, posted a tweet subtly linking the couple to the assassination just hours after it occurred.


Far-right YouTuber Styxhexenhammer666 was a bit more overt in his allegations.

On Twitter, more level-headed people couldn't help but eyeroll at this ludicrous accusation.










Moïse was assassinated at his home in the early hours of Wednesday morning by a group of suspected mercenaries posing as agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

Four suspects have been killed by police and two more have been arrested.

Robert Downey Jr. Reveals Gwyneth Paltrow Had No Clue Who Tom Holland Was Despite Starring In Several Movies With Him

It’s been nearly six years since Gwyneth Paltrow last suited up as Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, yet according to Robert Downey Jr., she still struggles to tell certain Avengers apart.

Downey Jr. roasted his longtime co-star in spectacular fashion while presenting her with The Hollywood Reporter’s Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, a moment that played less like a formal tribute and more like Tony Stark gently ribbing Pepper for forgetting who Spider-Man is.

Gavin Newsom Just Hilariously Trolled President Trump's New 'Walk Of Fame' With A Brutal One Of His Own

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump by riffing off the presidential "Walk of Fame" Trump unveiled in the White House back in September, gifting us the "Presidential Walk of Fatigue" instead.

In September, Trump's assistant Margo Martin shared a video of a hallway filled with the portraits of former U.S. presidents. Martin announced that "The Presidential Walk of Fame has arrived on the West Wing Colonnade," and the video she shared pans over multiple portraits of former presidents before lingering on an image of Biden's autopen signature.

The OU Student Who Got A Zero On Her Bible-Based Essay Was Just Honored By Republicans—Because Of Course

Samantha Fulnecky, the University of Oklahoma student who received a zero on a psychology essay about gender after using the Bible as her only source, was honored by the Oklahoma House of Representatives with a special "Citation of Recognition" this week after her complaint—which resulted in a transgender graduate student being placed on administrative leave—made headlines.

Fulnecky's instructor Mel Curth, a transgender woman, assigned her students a 650-word essay about how gender stereotypes impact societal expectations of individuals. Fulnecky instead wrote about what the Bible says about "traditional gender roles," arguing that to refer to them as "stereotypes" is "demonic."

A sycophant is a person who "acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage." An acolyte is a "true believer who helps carry out orders like a henchman, sidekick, or disciple."

While the words often get used interchangeably, they don't mean the same thing.
