In just a few hours, hell be pumping up gop voters in ohio in a deep red district that he won easily on election day. But now, a republican win there is by no means a given. These two are fighting for a congressional seat in tuesdays special election. On the left is the democrat, can danny oconnor, suddenly surging, making it a tossup against Republican Troy Balderson. The president s visit is last minute push to keep that seat republican. Boris sanchez is on site. If this district flips, what does this mean for midterms . Reporter hey there, ana.

where President Trump stands with midwestern voters as well. The fact is, we wouldnt be talking about the 12th
that they have for user generated content and josh halle wants to strip them of that if they can t prove that they re politically impartial. so let s talk about some of the people who were in the room and given an audience with the president of the united states. among them, people who push conspiracy theory like the seth rich conspiracy theory. one woman who pushed the theory that kamala harris was quote not an american black. you ll forgive my use of the term there. who else was in the room and who else did president trump invite to the white house? it was yeah. it was a pretty motley cast of characters to put it mildly. it was a mixture of people who used to be in conservative media who went over like benny johnson, works at turning point usa with charlie kirk which is sort of a young conservative movement. and there are other people that sort of you would call them
there is new information that proves these theorists are, in fact, right. we have this very strange story now of this young man who worked for the democratic national committee who apparently was assassinated at 4:00 in the morning having given wikileaks something like 23,000 i m sorry, 53,000 emails and 17,000 attachments. nobody s investigating that. okay. that s, just to be clear, that s false and baseless and that is dragging the name of this murdered individual through the mud and retraumatizing his family and friends. that s what newt gingrich is doing there. and now there is new exclusive reporting about the actual origins of the seth rich conspiracy theory and maybe you can guess where it is. that reporting was broken by michael isikoff, chief investigative correspondent for yahoo! news. host of the new podcast conspiraciland. great to have you here and great reporting. great to be with you, chris. what is the origin of this? well, as you suggested, it s not that
