Matt Drudge's Hurricane Theory Takes Conspiracies To A Dangerous Level

Conservative commentator Matt Drudge joined the likes of Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday by floating a conspiracy theory that the government is lying about the intensity of hurricanes to convince people climate change is real.

In a series of posts to Twitter, Drudge, creator of The Drudge Report, said there is “no way of verifying claims” made by the National Hurricane Center, which has warned that Hurricane Matthew could have “potentially disastrous impacts” on the southeast Atlantic Coast.
