Far-right conspiracy theories rule at Dripping Springs' 'Take Back Our Border' rally
Conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the Jan. 6 insurrection ran rampant Thursday evening as the "Take Our Border Back" convoy held a rally in the Texas Hill Country town of Dripping Springs. One of the event's speakers even accused Jewish Americans of funding border crossings by terrorists. Several thousand people descended on the sleepy Austin suburb to watch far-right figures including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and '70s-rock relic Ted Nugent, who flew in via helicopter, rail against the White House's border policy and the federal government in general.
