Despite being debunked for four years, does former Take That
member Robbie Williams’ belief that the Pizzagate conspiracy is real make him a
“secret Trump supporter”?

In the wake of the reinvigorated Black Lives Matter protest
brought about by the application of excessive force during the arrest of George
Floyd, admitting publicly that you subscribe to debunked bizarre conspiracy
theories put forth by white supremacist could be tantamount to saying publicly
that you are an unabashed Holocaust Denier. Sadly, former member of a popular 1990s
era boy band Take That, Robbie Williams, just recently did that in a recent
interview.
The 46-year-old sat down for an interview with journalist
Anna Brees, and in a teaser clip from the second part of the interview, the
Rock DJ singer appears to question the validity of a conspiracy theory alleging
that several high-ranking members of the U.S. Democratic Party and U.S.
restaurants were involved in an alleged human trafficking and child sex ring.
That theory was widely debunked during the 2016 US Presidential Election
following an investigation by the New York Times and the fact-checking website
Snopes. Although various American far-right and white supremacists groups still
believe to this very day that the Pizzagate Conspiracy is real and proof that –
according to them – the US Democratic Party are composed of sex deviants, while
denying President Trump’s association with convicted billionaire-paedophile - the
late Jeffrey Epstein.
As well as the Pizzagate Conspiracy Theory being debunked by
a number of investigative journalists, no alleged victims came forward and no
physical evidence supporting the theory was ever found. Sadly, it caused the
defeat of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Presidential Election that resulted in subjecting America into over three years of social trauma that culminated in
the COVID 19 response mismanagement and the systemic racism of US law
enforcement that resulted in the resurgent Black Lives Matter protests.
