No political event in the United States would be complete without the far-right passing around unhinged conspiracy theories online.

The first Presidential debate on Tuesday, September 29, was no exception. As the debate got closer and closer, conservatives on Twitter began spreading the completely unfounded rumor that Joe Biden was going to wear a special earpiece to feed him answer.

Even stranger, after the debate had finished, they began to claim that Joe Biden was wearing a high-tech contact lens that let him somehow cheat through the event.

Twitter, meanwhile, was busy debunking the conspiracy theory about Biden wearing an earpiece.



Of course, many conservatives were too far gone to see the truth.

Thankfully, many people stepped in to on social media to share some common sense.



The wild, unfounded theories even generated their fair share of snark.


Before long, even Joe Biden himself was in on the joke!



As much as conservatives might want to believe Joe Biden has some sort of high-tech help, in the eyes of many Americans, Biden doesn't have to cheat to make President Trump seem out of control.

The White House Now Has Its Own News Website—And People Are Calling It Out For What It Is

Critics called out the Trump administration for running its own propaganda network after the White House publicized "White House Wire," its own news website that features news articles from conservative news outlets like the Daily Caller and Fox News.

The White House Wire (WHWIRE) primarily features positive coverage of the president and administration, with stories mainly sourced from conservative outlets and contributions from government staffers.

Trump Called Out Using His Own Past Tweet After He Tried To Blame The Economy On Biden

After President Donald Trump declared that former President Joe Biden is to blame for for current stock market performance—saying "this is Biden's stock market, not Trump's" in a rant on Truth Social—people quickly fact-checked him for previously taking credit for the stock market when Biden was in office.
