Please also avoid duplicates.

They're trying to insinuate that the accusations on them are of the same legitimacy of those they've been throwing at everyone for decades.
If their claims are rebuked as baseless, they'll call the claims against them baseless as well. If the claims against them are said to be substantiated, they'll point to their claims and suggest the same. It's the "tails I win, heads you lose" of a political scheme.
conservatives are more likely to believe fake news, and cons more. eventhough AI is fake, its just affirmation to thier beliefs.
