This is a deeply disturbed conspiracy that could actually get people killed.

For some time now, Matt Drudge has flirted with various conspiracy theories. But today, he’s taken it to a whole new level:

Um … what?

Drudge isn’t do himself any favors here, either.
So… Matt Drudge is full blown trumpkin conspiracy theorist now?
Awesome.

It’s awful hard to take him seriously when he’s pushing the idea that a potentially deadly hurricane is part of a government conspiracy. Seriously. Come on, dude.

Jokes aside, Drudge’s tweets are grossly irresponsible.
this is repulsive.

disgusting and dangerous tweet

Horrifically irresponsible. This storm has the potential to KILL. @DRUDGE @DRUDGE_REPORT putting lives at risk. #HurricaneMatthew https://t.co/pxXBL5UrfQ

This isn't funny at all. Is Drudge trying to get people hurt with his conspiracy theories? Or is Alex Jones guest posting for him? https://t.co/WBvH6kA5NZ

This is DANGEROUSLY stupid! @DRUDGE, you are putting lives in DANGER!!!! https://t.co/UWw7KkCFwQ

people are going to die if they listen to you and fail to take this seriously.

of all the dangerous fever-swamp conspiracies you push, this may well get innocent if ill-informed people killed… YOU’RE deplorable

This is maddening to me. People could die tomorrow because @drudge is asserting weather forecasting has a political agenda. https://t.co/8uREXAwZqy

Spreading such a conspiracy is reckless. There are those who may now choose not to evacuate when ordered. Lives are at stake.

Hopefully no one out there is looking to Drudge for advice on hurricane preparedness — or how to not sound like a crazy person.

You should be ashamed of yourself, but I guess you probably won't start now. @DRUDGE

Yikes, dude. There’s a difference between politics and reality. Join us in the latter?

This is beyond stupid. Why do all of the famous and 'influential' conservatives want to destroy and credibility left over Donald Trump? https://t.co/KNe7zKmlyT

If you were still taking @DRUDGE @DRUDGE_REPORT seriously, this should put that to rest. He cares more about his traffic than your life.
