Do you think s/he really believes that? I think a lot of conservatives see public political discourse foremost as an ideological battlefield where they want to push narratives for advantage, and where truth and reality do not really play into it. Like, there are a few dopes who really thought Hillary was running a sex ring out of a pizza place in NW DC, but I think most of the people who pushed that stuff did not believe it and pushed it for other reasons (fun, profit, partisan gain).
