RUSH EXCERPT:
ZAKARIA: “Good evening, I’m Fareed Zakaria, let me begin with a confession, this is not the topic that I usually tackle. And I’m worried about repeating misinformation. But it’s urgent, the theories circulating now are dangerous and the president of the United States is trafficking in them. When Donald Trump tells us that elections are rigged and Obama gate is the biggest scandal in history. Some know that the ideas are are wholly false and others are less certain. Especially when they hear a story full of details that seem to explain everything. 50% of Americans have believed one of the conspiracy theories. It’s a story of how destructive they have become. Not just to the people they Target. But to the foundations of the democracy.”
