CNN’s Dana Bash and former Maryland State Police Commander Neill Franklin float absurd conspiracy theories on UnitedHealthcare CEO’s murder on “Inside Politics”
CNN’s Dana Bash indulged in conspiracy theories during a Friday segment of CNN’s Inside Politics, more like Inside the Loony Bin, when her guest, former Maryland State Police Commander Neill Franklin, suggested that United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson “orchestrated” his own assassination.
Franklin’s only evidence: “[The shooter] knew too much about where he was going to be at a specific time.” As Franklin explained how the assassin couldn’t have possibly known where Thompson would be, Bash justified the claims, pointing out that “he knew.” Wouldn’t any assassin likely know where their target would be at a specific time?
Surely, it’s possible, but what a stretch!
The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday morning that Brian Thompson was murdered outside of the Hilton Hotel. He arrived before 7 am for a conference when he was shot at multiple times by a masked man who police say was waiting for him to arrive. The fact that the assassin was waiting for Thompson “is what is really digging at me as a former criminal investigator,” said Franklin.
