At a January 7 town hall with Anderson Cooper, President Obama stood firm on the fact that the idea that he and the U.S. government are attempting to implement some kind of massive gun confiscation plan is nothing more than a deluded conspiracy theory.
"I am sorry Cooper," President Obama said. "Yes, it is fair to call it a conspiracy. What are you saying. Are you suggesting that the notion that we are creating a plot to take everybody's guns away so that we can impose martial law is not a conspiracy? Yes. That is a conspiracy. I would hope you would agree with that. Is that controversial? Except on some websites around the country?"
However, it should be noted that if you dig even slightly below the surface, just about everything within the GOP platform and belief structure is also a conspiracy theory. For example, just days before his final State of the Union address, GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio argued that for some unfathomable reason the president has spent the last seven years deliberately weakening the nation.”
Sen. Marco Rubio reframed his national security argument around the eighth anniversary of Barack Obama's victory in the Iowa caucuses, calling it "a historic moment in global affairs" because since then, he "has deliberately weakened America."
...
“[Obama] has made an intentional effort to humble us back to size as if to say 'We no longer need to be so powerful because our power has done more harm than good,'" Rubio said. "America is in far greater danger today than it was eight years ago."
The fact that there is absolutely no actual evidence to support this theory does not stop Rubio from making the accusation that the president is a traitor for supporting the deal to shut down Iran’s nuclear program. It doesn’t matter, as Obama noted during his final address to the nation, that Iran really has begun shutting down their primary enrichment facility. The “conspiracy” to undermine and weaken America by avoiding a nuclear war with Iran through negotiation and diplomacy still spills unrestrained from Rubio’s lips.
And that is far from the only conspiracy at work within the GOP id.
