Conspiracy theories like what, specifically?
NO ONE is defending the "alt-right" or whatever you want to call these white supremacists. But this guy killing a girl with his car seems unrelated to their antics.
It was a guy driving along in his car, and for reasons not clear suddenly accelerated, and as the video makes clear there was aa mob of guys with clubs all over him at the moment of impact, Regardless of his personal Hitler-adoring bigotry, it looks to me like he was fleeing for his life and totaled his car in the process.
And the other issue you bring up, Obama arguably exceeded the worst excesses of Trump when it comes to the media. His White House tried to exclude Fox News as "not a real news channel", and then lied about the attempt after. But Judiciaal Watch proved with the Obama White House's internal e-mails that was
exactly what they deceitfully did.
https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room...x-news-channel/Absolutely, beyond question. And even 40-year veteran reporters of the New York Times and Washington Post described the Obama administration as the most "control freak" administration they ever dealt with,
including the Nixon administration! In terms of intimidating, electronically monitoring, and prosecuting White House leakers.
Do you remember when they had Fox News correspondent James Rosen arrested?
The worst Trump has done is make a few off-the-cuff remarks about the media's liberal bias and anonymous-sourced "fake news" and there are plenty of examples in the last 18 months to back that up.

And:
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/2017/0...ive_410848.htmlThe worst excess of Trump's was a single reporter who was shouting questions antagonistically over what was supposed to be a pleasant photo op, and Trump had his people make her leave. And I think what the reporter did was rude, and something she would NEVER have done to Barack Obama, or to a hypothetical president Hillary Clinton. But I feel Trump should have just ignored her and not banned her.
But what she did was
Jim Acosta-level grandstanding theatrics. And by the merest coincidence they both work for CNN (that I think of as DNC-NN).
It wasn’t clear whether Shine and Sanders were acting on their own against Collins or were carrying out a directive from Trump himself. In a statement Wednesday, the White House said: “At the conclusion of a press event in the Oval Office a reporter shouted questions and refused to leave despite repeatedly being asked to do so. Subsequently, our staff informed her she was not welcome to participate in the next event, but made clear that any other journalist from her network could attend. She said it didn’t matter to her because she hadn’t planned to be there anyway. To be clear, we support a free press and ask that everyone be respectful of the presidency and guests at the White House.”
That's clearly not a media ban, but banning one reporter temporarily for bad behavior.
As compared to Obama trying to ban Fox News entirely, and arresting reporters to intimidate them and the rest of the media. AMAZING how the 93% anti-Trump media doesn't discuss the latest event in that context!
