Charlottesville Conspiracy Theories Begin

“I witnessed a terrorist attack in Charlottesville. Then the conspiracy theories began.”

On Politico.com, Brennan Gilmore writes:

Last Sunday evening, I received a worried call from my sister asking if I had spoken with my mother and father. I had spent the day doing interviews about the vehicle attack I witnessed the day before while protesting the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville and had not been in front of a computer all day. She told me that my parents’ home address had been posted on a neo-Nazi conspiracy theorist message board.

“They are suggesting that you arranged the attack, Brennan,” she said. “There are death threats against you.” [1]
