Jesse Watters on Tuesday aired a profoundly weird conspiracy theory about Taylor Swift that has been gaining traction in right-wing circles: that she’s not just a pop musician, but part of a government “psyop.”
On Jesse Watters Tonight, the Fox News host took an interest in how some allies of former president Donald Trump are wondering whether there’s something deeper going on when it comes to Swift.
Former Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller, for instance, wrote last month, “What’s happening with Taylor Swift is not organic.” Jeffrey Clark, a co-defendant of Trump’s in the Georgia racketeering case, called the musician a “Trojan horse” and responded affirmatively to a post by far-right commentator Jack Posobiec that said Swift’s “girlboss psyop has been fully activated.”
