Conspiracy theories about the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting spread faster than any verified facts. Nathan Radke of the Uncover Up podcast applies the same framework he uses on every case: look at the evidence before drawing the conclusion.

Radke tracks the specific claims. Vice President Vance was evacuated before the president. A press secretary used a phrase that looked different in retrospect. A reporter’s call dropped. Each detail fed the false flag argument. Each detail also has a mundane explanation. Radke’s point is not that the mundane explanation is correct. It is that the evidence has to come first.

The deeper problem is what happens when the conspiratorial thinking that politicians use as a tool turns back on them.
