Pete Buttigieg is an undercover CIA agent according to a new conspiracy theory [View all]
The far right is known for its loony conspiracy theories, like QAnon and Pizzagate. But while they right dominates the tin-foil hat market, it doesnt have a complete monopoly. Case in point: some on the far left think that Pete Buttigieg is a CIA agent.
Buttigieg has denied that he has any connections to the spy agency, but in one of those circular arguments that simply cant be refuted, his critics say that of course he would deny it. Anyone who says they werent involved with the CIA clearly is not a spy, an article on the DailyDot claims, sarcastically.
The origin of the conspiracy theory is Buttigiegs resume. Harvard, the consulting firm McKinsey, a stint in the military all of these are proof positive that Buttigieg is really part of the Deep State.
Put together, a picture forms of an elite-educated, multi-language-speaking employee of the CIAs consulting firm who currently serves as an intelligence officer in the naval reserves, Steve Poikonen, who hosts a YouTube vlog, told The Daily Beast. If you created a CIA asset in a lab, youd wind up with Pete Buttigieg.
