Extremist anti-LGBTQ activist Scott Lively weighed in today on the violence surrounding the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend, suggesting that it had all been instigated by “the same network of Bush, Clinton and Obama deep-state intelligence agents, politicians and street activists that’s been working since the election to remove President Trump.”

As Lively sees it, the goal of this “network of one-world statists” is to use left-wing groups to “inflame the right” and incite conflict in order to create “a global socialist government.”

In making his case, Lively bizarrely asserts that the multiple allegations of sexual assault against Bill Cosby are part of this effort, as is the existence of the notoriously anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church, which he suspects is really a left-wing group that was created simply to “hurt the pro-family movement.”
