Donald Trump's former press secretary has spent part of his post-White House career attempting to rebuild his image with things like appearing on "Dancing with the Stars."
But in a recent interview, Spicer platformed a far-right conspiracy theorist that promoted "Pizzagate." The false theory is that Hillary Clinton was running a sex trafficking ring out of the pizza parlor's basement. It resulted in a gunman coming to the establishment and terrorizing the families eating and playing ping-pong there.
Jack Posobiec, whorecently advocated overthrowing democracy, attacked Joe Biden for purportedly letting a girl be raped by an undocumented migrant who was then able to get back into the U.S. The man he's referencing was not "allowed" back into the country and U.S. Marshals were able to capture him.

Spicer was shredded online for legitimizing Posobiec.
White House correspondent for the Huffington Post, S.V. Dáte explained, "To be clear, we have here a former WH press secretary giving a platform to the guy who spread the idiotic Pizzagate conspiracy theory."
"Aren’t they in the same party that’s forcing women to have the baby of the rapist?" asked reporter John Powers.
"TFW you realize the most respectable thing you've done in your entire career is wearing a green sequined puffy shirt on 'Dancing with the Stars,'" said another critic of Spicer.
Posobiec is named on the Southern Poverty Law Center's extremist list. It says, among other things, "Posobiec has used his prominence on Twitter to promote Russian military intelligence operations. He helped lead the 'Stop the Steal' campaign, which cast doubt on the integrity of the 2016 and 2020 American presidential elections. He has also collaborated with white nationalists, antigovernment extremists, members of the Proud Boys, and neo-Nazis in his capacity as an operative."
A video of a speech Posobiec gave at C-PAC in February went viral when he promoted overthrowing democracy, which many took as him advocating for the overthrow of the United States.
“We didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it," he said.
