Pizzagate is an internet slang term that refers to a conspiracy theory that emerged online in 2016. It alleges that a Washington D.C. pizza restaurant was a front for a child trafficking ring involving high-profile individuals. The theory originated from misinterpretations of hacked emails from John Podesta, a former chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Examples:
1. Many people on social media believe in the Pizzagate conspiracy, claiming that politicians and celebrities are involved in a secret child sex trafficking ring.
2. The Pizzagate theory led to an incident where a man entered the mentioned pizza restaurant with a firearm, convinced he was rescuing children. This event highlighted the dangerous consequences that misinformation spread on the internet can have.
