No political event in the United States would be complete without the far-right passing around unhinged conspiracy theories online.

The first Presidential debate on Tuesday, September 29, was no exception. As the debate got closer and closer, conservatives on Twitter began spreading the completely unfounded rumor that Joe Biden was going to wear a special earpiece to feed him answer.

Even stranger, after the debate had finished, they began to claim that Joe Biden was wearing a high-tech contact lens that let him somehow cheat through the event.
