The Ridiculous Conspiracy Theories People Fell For In 2016

Hillary Caused ISIS

During Donald Trump’s interview on60 Minutes, he claimed that Hillary Clinton created ISIS. More specifically he said, “Hillary Clinton invented ISIS with her stupid policies. She is responsible for ISIS.” While Donald seemingly had fun spreading this theory around, the origins are false. The terror group actually pre-dates Obama and her role as Secretary of State.

While the group has been known by several different names over the years, they have been using ISIS for some time. The group is thought to have originated in the late 1990s. Spreading these conspiracy theories does nothing to help with the fact that these terror groups are doing just that, terrorizing people around the world. Let’s hope at some point the blame will end, and the group can actually be stopped.
