The Ridiculous Conspiracy Theories People Fell For In 2016

Ted Cruz Is the Zodiac Killer

While this fake conspiracy theory originated as a meme (i.e. a joke) many around the internet actually seemed to pay more heed to it than they should. While the Zodiac Killer was an actual serial killer who murdered multiple people in a series of murders in California in the 1960s and 1970s, this rumor was obviously FALSE.

Ted Cruz wasn’t born until 1970 so unless that is a lie and he’s actually much older than he claims there is no way he could have committed the zodiac murders! Because this one was started as a joke, it’s a bit scary that there are people who actually believe it.
