Far-right figures and conspiracy theorists baselessly allege Obama was responsible for personal chef Tafari Campbell’s death
Misinformation around Campbell’s death is another instance of right-wing conspiracy theorists' years-long track record of falsely claiming that prominent Democratic politicians kill people to maintain political power.
On July 23, Campbell was seen paddleboarding near the Obama’s summer home on Edgartown Great Pond at Martha’s Vineyardwhen another paddleboarder saw himsubmerge underwater. The Massachusetts Environmental Police recovered his body the next day, and state police reported that there was “no evidence” of anything “suspicious” regarding his drowning.Barack and Michelle Obama were not homewhen the tragedy occurred.
Despite a lack of evidence, far-right figures and conspiracy theorists have attacked the Obamas and baselessly claimed that they were responsible for Campbell’s death, and right-wing media figures have started to imply there was foul play involved.
