Maria Bartiromo Is Back With a New Trump–Diddy Conspiracy

Pro-Trump, conspiracy-friendly Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo donned her tinfoil hat again Wednesday when she said that rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest and indictment earlier this week for sex trafficking and other charges was designed to take attention away from an attempted assassination of Donald Trump last Sunday.

After demanding to hear more from Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Bartiromo framed the issue this way: “They” want questions about the attempted assassination “to go away,” and so “they gave the media a nice, perfectly wrapped package to go wall-to-wall with.”

“Don’t you find it ironic that once again they take the same strategy out and that is: change the conversation? The timing of the P Diddy arrest—please,” she said on Mornings with Maria. “They must’ve had the P Diddy arrest on the shelf waiting to be taken off the shelf for when they needed it. And yesterday, boy oh boy did they need it, because the questions were spiking everywhere as far as how it is possible that another assassination attempt happened, that another would-be assassin was within a couple hundred yards of President Trump?”
