Just a few weeks after the 2016 election, a 28-year-old North Carolina man drove to Washington D.C. to rescue enslaved children. He had been reading about the so-called “Pizzagate” conspiracy—which alleged secret messages about sex trafficking in leaked Democratic Party emails—and was determined to act. Armed with an AR-15 and other weapons, he arrived at a pizzeria and fired multiple shots as he looked for the children. Nobody was hurt, no children were found, and he was eventually sentenced to four years in jail.
