During a show on Fox Business Wednesday morning, host Maria Bartiromo claimed that the rapper Diddy was arrested to distract from the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
The anchors on Fox are willing to do almost anything they can to protect Donald Trump. But no one is a bigger true believer than Maria Bartiromo. And in her lust to make any and every story about the Republican candidate, she unveiled a wild conspiracy theory about Diddy's arrest.
Talking to journalist Miranda Devine, Bartiromo began, "Don't you find it ironic, Miranda, that once again they take that same strategy out and that is change the conversation? The timing of the P. Diddy arrest? Please. They must have had the P. Diddy arrest on the shelf waiting to take it off the shelf for when they needed it."
The host continued:
"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 of hundred yards of President Trump."
Bartiromo closed, "As we're all asking these questions, boom, they take P. Diddy in and now we're all talking about that, take it off the front page. This [is the] strategy over and over again. I saw right through it as soon as it happened."
Ironically, the attempted assassination of Donald Trump was quite fortunate for him. Earlier in the day, Trump had made a post on Truth Social about hating Taylor Swift and that story was somewhat buried by the attempt on his life.
