For the past several weeks a conspiracy theory has spread through Republican internet channels claiming that Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-PA) body has been taken over by a clone.
Despite fictional claims in television, film and literature, human clones do not exist.
“The conspiracy appears to be a continuation of earlier discourse about Fetterman’s speech issues following his stroke now that his speech in interviews is much improved,” MSNBC reported over the weekend. “Fetterman also took the daring step of changing his facial hair. Even such mundane things can become a recipe for conspiracies in such a highly politicized environment.”
Fetterman joked last week, “I’m Senator Guy Incognito,” a reference to a “Simpsons” character who looks exactly like Homer Simpson.
