Todd Starnes is a right-wing radio host who was booted from Fox Radio News in 2019 for claiming Democrats worship Moloch (a Caananite god that is associated in the popular imagination with child sacrifice). But he’s managed to turn his C-list celebrity status into running a conservative content farm on Facebook, where he claimed he had it on good authority that the wave of Southwest cancellations had “nothing to do with weather” and urged his followers to join “The Great Rebellion.”

In a blog post, Starnes claimed he had learned this from speaking to “several” Southwest flight attendants during a recent flight. Hmm.
