Rep. Riggleman Compares Hunt For Bigfoot To Political Conspiracy Theories | Katy Tur | MSNBC
PSA by Republicans would be nice.
More likely to get one from Bigfoot
Conspiracy theories sounds like it carries weight. Call it for what it is, Stupid theories.
Yep. Or, Loony Logic
poops
Great insult to Bigfoot, much more credibility than Trump or the GOP.
True that.
Yeah, Big foot never harmed anyone🤷🏻♂️🤷🏽♂️
Love the Bigfoot jokes hilarious 😆 🤣🙊
@Lone Shark Not sure I’d agree with that. Just like we humans, they have their bad ones as well. Unfortunately their bad ones are 8 – 10 feet tall and go 1000+ lbs. Also unfortunately, there are way more Qanon nuts than Sasquatch.
You’re a beast. You eat boogers.
I’ll believe it when that woman can point on a map where ‘Epstein Island’ is.
@Coco and causing more anxiety for everyone
I thought Epstein was a great friend of Mr. Don Trump who bragged about his visits to the infamous “pleasure island”. Trump has stated his preference for very young girls many times on camera.
Roger Stone has spent time at that island.
She’d probably point at the legend.
Here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlkxQMxJmEU
I would trust Bigfoot before I trusted Trump mainly because he’s a lot better looking.
That meign ain’t no tupe
Bigfoot has bigger hands.
@Robert Biondo I’m going with evidence. Where is the fraudulent evidence?! I have no doubt all the trump supporters are sicko commie sympathizers just like their leader. A Russian hacking scandal has been going since March and ” Your ” leader hasn’t said anything!
He also didn’t say anything about the 300k + dead, that were alive 9 months ago.
@Jim River If trump admits he lost, he can’t continue to con his supporters into donations for the fraud defense fund.
Since Bigfoot doesn’t exist, it isn’t constantly lying … as T rump has been and is continuing to do .
Republicans are just a conspiracy away from believing the world is flat.
Seymour Butts loves Ben Dover. Dirty taint
@Elie Kazan kahn I’m old enough to have studied history and I know a cult when I see one. Trump said that he loves the uneducated….so study up.
@Ian Jenkins Haha, I’m fine grandpa.
A lot of them do.
Well, where have you been ?! Those flat earthers are now a solid bunch and I don’t think there’s anything we can say or do to make them drop their ludicrous ideas, unfortunately.
I think Bigfoot has a bigger chance of being real than their conspiracy theories.
I wrote my comment almost identical to yours – great minds think alike 🙂
Wait, Bigfoot is not real?
I was thinking the same thing.
I know, right?
@Robin D Hood khahahahaha
Griftocray is a great description of the present administration.
Griftocracy! Good one. I was going to say Kakistocracy, maybe a little of both.
I’m definitely adding *griftocracy* to my political vocabulary!
Bigfoot has a better chance of being real.
Bigfoot actually is real just thought to be extinct….. 🙂
And honest
Bigfoot, santa claus , and the tooth fairy have more credibility than trump or gop.
@Woo Cain I’ve heard, smelled and seen sign of them. Wood knocks and whistles. In central NH of all places. They are the superior race. They live with nature and we destroy it. No wonder they shy away from us, right?
fart sniffer
“Or just my husband without a shirt.”
Is she saying he’s hairy, or scary? Either way.. Hey lady. Wooh back on your man a bit ah. LOL
That was hilarious !
Whoa! Dang giiiiiiirrrrlllll!
_”Did I just say that out loud?”_
Good interview. Conspiracy theories sounds goofy. Those people are willful liars.
People that believe in conspiracy theories are just intellectually lazy. Oh yeah and stupid too
@Tracy Evans i dunno. Some of them work extraordinarily hard to find things that appear to them to confirm their claims. Some of them are just defective. Whatever it is that allows most people to judge trustworthiness is broken. Of course if they wanted to they could work at improving this ability, but because their judgement is broken they don’t want to.
The party who’s many saying includes “think for yourself” but jumps when told to jump by Trump. 😂🤣
The don’t just jump. They as, “How high?”.
The Texas state republican party platform actually came out and said schools should not be teaching critical thinking. They subsequently modified it to say schools should not teach anything that goes against peoples’ fixed beliefs. This pretty much summarizes today’s republicans.
@Bryce Brogan wow that explains my 2nd ex wife’s family.
Wrong, republicans hate free thinkers.period
Republicans are the party of Grifters and their Marks.
Pickle licker
@Skitch McKenzie licorice plucker
Typical trump supporter
“Whats your evidence?”
Trump supporter “come on”
@Skitch McKenzie I KNOW MY PHONE IS BEING TRACKED AND CENSORED BUT THAT WONT STOP ANYTHING!!!!! WRATH WILL FALL ON ALL THE TREASON BY GOD!!!!!
@Flip Carter
Terrific………. meanwhile in the real world Trump is so stupid he referred to there being airports in 1776. The only thing that is going to happen in a month is that president elect Joe Biden will become president. Type in caps all you want ,that ain’t gonna change.
@Xela somar HE WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT TRUMP!!!! YOUR FORGETTING THE 1ST AMENDMENT,,, FREE AND FAIR ELECTION!!!! THIS ELECTION WAS STOLEN AND YOU KNOW IT SO STOP ACTING LIKE YOUR NOT GUILTY OF COVERING UP THE FRAUD!!!! I DONT KNOW HOW YOU PEOPLE CALL YOURSELVES AMERICANS????? WHAT YOU ARE IS A TRAITOR AND PATHETIC!!!!!
@Gordon J Alley I TOLD YOU THAT YOU WILL SEE AND YOU ARE WRONG!!!! LOL
@Flip Carter
Whatever…I’m done arguing with crazy.
Rep. Riggleman also said QAnon supporters think ” Lord of The Rings” is a documentary. I love this guy!!.
😂😂😂
That’s funny 😄
Sauron as real estate developer…
It’s not? No wonder why I couldn’t find it in the nonfiction video section at the library.
Scientologists even think the Q supporters are effing nutjobs.
Bigfoot does exist, and Rudy Giuliani said he voted multiple times in all of the swing States
I just realized I’ve never seen a picture of Bigfoot and Huge Chavez in the same room..
@Rick Lastname Good one!
@Rick Lastname https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlkxQMxJmEU
@Jay Yeah, if you’re a stupid taint sniffer.
guess that woman talking about Epstein didn’t realize Epstein was pal-ing around with trump ….
I once met a guy who said that EVERYTHING on TV was reality; he could not understand that the characters were actors. That was 40 years ago. Terrifying.
It’s not a “both sides” thing. It’s a nuts thing. A vast majority of these nuts are Republicans.
“Griftocracy”–born of our ‘Reality TV’ mentality.
