Hillary Sends MAGA Conspiracy Theorists Into Overdrive After Congratulating 'Taylor's Boyfriend'

The former Secretary of State had conservatives crying 'psyop!' after she trolled them over the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl win on Sunday, which conspiracy theorists predicted would be rigged by Democrats for the Chiefs and Taylor Swift.

After the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton triggered right-wing snowflakes with a simple congratulatory post to "Taylor's boyfriend" for winning the big game.

Ahead of the game, conservative conspiracists suggested that the NFL rigged the season for Swift to attend, allegedly orchestrated by President Joe Biden and the CIA to boost ratings and promote a political agenda, ultimately culminating with an endorsement of Biden. Swift has been in a relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce since September 2023 and has been a regular presence at his games.


Once the Chiefs won their second consecutive Super Bowl—besting the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime—Clinton issued the following message on X, formerly Twitter:

"Congratulations to Taylor's boyfriend—and the entire Kansas City Chiefs community!"

You can see her post below.

Clinton's post reversed the narrative of sports commentators characterizing female athletes based on their male companions—and angry conservatives saw her post as evidence of a "psyop."


Clinton's trolling had liberals cackling.



Clinton's post came after President Biden leaned into the conspiracy theories himself with a post saying, "Just like we drew it up" that was accompanied by a meme showing him in his "Dark Brandon" persona, blasting lasers from his eyes.

Swift has been targeted by the far-right in recent months because of her efforts to register young voters.

Last month, Fox News personality Jesse Watters was criticized for suggesting Swift could be a covert government operative.

During his show Jesse Watters Primetime, Watters presented a clip falsely attributed to a Pentagon official, claiming that Swift was considered by the Pentagon's psychological operations unit as an asset to combat online misinformation.

Andrea Hailey, the CEO of Vote.org, quickly dismissed Watters' conspiracy theory, noting that Swift's partnership with the organization "is helping all Americans make their voices heard at the ballot box." She added that Swift is aiding "the biggest nonpartisan platform in America helping young people register [and] cast their vote."
