"I have a personal tether to it. So I want to believe in a very kind of Fox molder kind of way that, you know, this stuff's having coming with good intent," he said. "They don't think anybody at all outside of fringe alt-right groups believes any of this shit." The only real people backing them are people like China, which clearly doesn't believe their propaganda and colluded with the U.S., he added. 'The thing that even in that's the thing that doesn't make sense with Russia's propaganda is that it is so contradictory'
