The Gateway Pundit, a far-right blog that has frequently peddled political misinformation, has filed for bankruptcy, citing the lawsuits it faces over its conspiracy-fueled coverage of the 2020 presidential election.
In January, during this year’s GOP presidential primaries, Trump shared a post from the site promoting a racist birther conspiracy theory about Nikki Haley. A Reuters investigation found that the blog’s coverage of the 2020 election results, which it routinely painted as rigged against Trump, led to a raft of violent threats against election workers.
